Review: "The sixteen contributors to this volume, all of whom have been in different ways encouraged and inspired by the work of Peter Green, have gathered to celebrate that eclectic scholar's own love of the study of classics in all its varieties. Each has undertaken to show for some particular issue passage, or, object that its position between art and life is permeable, that filtered diffusions from life to art and from art to life were continual in the classical world, and that the paths and motives of these interchanges can be described and understood."--Jacket.
