Abstract

Nothing Too Much

This article focuses on the book "The Great Age of Greek Literature," by Edith Hamilton. That this material is interesting in itself and does round out the former volume, there can be no doubt. But there is in some of it, particularly that which describes the historians, an ever so slight and ever so slightly disturbing, difference of tone, a suspicion that the book has been not merely completed but brought: up to date, as if modern events had impinged a little too much on the author's consciousness. The readers are prompted in their study of the wars between the Greeks and the Persians and between the Athenians and the Spartans.
