Did you know we have many titles here at Faded Page about the Greeks? Let’s do a deep dive into all things Greek and check out our subject categories, Greek, Greece and Greek Philosophy, that cover Greek places, people and, most importantly, Greek drama.

For travelers, we have The Acropolis and Its Museum in two volumes, along with Edith Hamilton’s The Greek Way, an interpretation of Greek life and civilization, Greek literature, philosophy and art. A good grounding in Greek mythology can be found in the first book of Bullfinch’s Mythology.

For students and schools, we have Lucian’s Dialogues Prepared for Schools with Short Notes in Greek by W.H.D. Rouse and also Rouse’s literal prose translation of the epic Homer: The Iliad.

For those interested in Greek drama, be it tragedy or just drama, we have 5 titles from Aeschylus including The Eumenides, Prometheus Bound, and The Persians, the oldest surviving Greek tragedy. We also have 5 titles from Euripides including Medea and his most famous tragedy, Bacchae. Sophocles is well represented with The Antigone and Oedipus at Colonus.

These are just a few of the titles we have about Greeks and Greek drama and literature.
