The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature

A brilliant, authoritative reference guide to Greek and Roman literature, packed with key texts, authors, themes, and classical context.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This is the kind of book you keep within arm's reach. It is not just for scholars, it is for anyone who wants to understand the stories and ideas that shaped Western literature, from epic poetry and tragedy to myth, philosophy, and the writers who influenced everything that came after.

Perfect for dipping into, checking a reference, or going down a rabbit hole when a name, myth, or text pops up and you want the proper context.
