  Shows how classical ideas and material helped to shape the modern world. This book rethinks the characterization of two contrastive forms of ancient literary tradition - epic and novel - and re-frames their function as dynamic points of reference in the history of ideas and in our understanding of the interface between antiquity and the modern.
