| Publisher Description: In this volume, the eminent classicist William Rhys Roberts (1858-1929) presents the Three Literary Letters of Dionysus of Halicarassus. Well established in the classical canon, the works of Dionysus are regarded particularly for their value as histories and as works of rhetoric. First published in 1901, this is an edition that encourages speakers of modern English to see Greek sources through the eyes of contemporary Greek critics. The original Greek text is printed with a facing-page English translations, and accompanied by notes, a glossary of rhetorical and grammatical terms, a bibliography, and an introductory essay on Dionysus as a literary critic. It remains an important early edition and translation of Dionysus that will be of interest to classicists and amateur readers of Greek. |
