- "Pliny did it, Plutarch did it, Xenophon did it. In fact most ancient writers were incorrigible collectors of miscellany, lively anecdotes, and after-dinner jokes. Here, writer and historian Philip Matyszak has collected his favorite incidents, wisecracks, and interesting facts about ancient Greece and Rome into a single volume. The stories have been selected for the insights that they give us into the ancient world, with its different perspectives on life, honor, and personal relationships."--Publisher's description.
