This collection brings together the great voices of Ancient Greek literature in clear, accessible English translation. It is an ideal entry point for readers who want to experience the power of the originals without needing specialist knowledge of Ancient Greek. With carefully selected texts across genres and eras, it offers a rich introduction to the ideas, stories, and values that shaped Western culture.
What does the collection include?
These works have shaped how the West thinks about heroism, love, justice, virtue, and the inner life.
From the epic journeys of Odyssey and Iliad, to the philosophical Platonic dialogues of Symposium, Republic, and Apology, these texts invite readers into the foundations of storytelling and thought. Alongside Hesiod’s Epic Poems, the tragic power of Euripides’ Bacchae, the Stoic clarity of Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, the ethical vision of Aristotle’ s Nicomachean Ethics, and the fragmented wisdom of Heraclitus, the collection offers a compact yet powerful map of ancient wisdom—still urgent, still alive, and deeply relevant to modern readers. Two thematic anthologies, On the Soul and On Freedom, collect what the ancient Greeks thought about these concepts that remain important to the reader today.
