Classics

In "A Very Short Introduction to Classics," Mary Beard and John Henderson explore the pervasive influence of classical culture in our daily lives, from politics to literature. Beginning with a visit to the British Museum's frieze from the Apollo Temple at Bassae, the audiobook invites listeners to reflect on the original contexts of these classical influences and their evolution over time. Aimed at both general listeners and students, this engaging introduction encourages a renewed appreciation for the value of Classics in understanding our contemporary world.
