THE LAYERS OF THE TEXT - RICHARD HUNTER KARTONI...

This volume collects the most recent essays of Richard Hunter  one of the world's leading
experts in the field of Greek and Latin literature. The essays range across all periods of
ancient literature from Homer to late antiquity  with a particular focus not just on the texts
in their original contexts  but also on how they were interpreted and exploited for both
literary and more broadly cultural purposes later in antiquity. Taken together  the essays
sketch a picture of a continuous tradition of critical and historical engagement with the
literature of the past from the period of Aristophanes and then Plato and Aristotle in
classical Athens to the rich prose literature of the Second Sophistic. Richard Hunter's earlier
essays are collected in On Coming After (Berlin 2008).
