With her trademark wit and clarity, Beard brings Greek and Roman ideas out of the museum and into everyday conversation, showing how classical literature and ancient politics continue to shape modern debates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eRather than treating the Classics as a closed canon, this book explores how we read, argue over, and reuse antiquity—on campus, in public life, and in popular culture.
