Epistolae, graece et latine; - Alciphron

. .

Résumé :

Epistolae, graece et latine presents the collected letters of Alciphron, a Greek sophist and rhetorician. This edition, published in 1791, offers the original Greek text alongside a Latin translation, providing valuable insight for students and scholars of classical literature and ancient philosophy. Alciphron's letters, written in the 2nd century CE, offer fictionalized accounts of daily life in ancient Greece, particularly focusing on the lives and conversations of common people such as farmers, fishermen, and courtesans. These letters provide a unique glimpse into the social customs, values, and concerns of the Hellenistic world. This edition is a valuable resource for those interested in the nuances of ancient Greek language, culture, and social history, and the enduring appeal of classical epistolary literature.
