Pandora's box, Plato's cave, Hannibal's elephants, the sword of Damocles, the Trojan horse and the Oedipus complex. Argus eyes, sirens, bacchanals, tantalus torments and draconian measures. The Gordian knot, the golden fleece and the horn of plenty. And so on and so forth. All concepts that everyone has heard of, but few know the original story. The abecedarium FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA offers a solution. The book is constructed from keywords that lead the reader directly to the source - because that is the starting point: the writers from antiquity themselves have their say in this book. The result is a wonderful reference work and browsing book, a literary and cultural journey through the Greek and Roman world. Well-known alongside unknown writers, famous alongside unexpected passages, but always stimulating and fascinating. Ten centuries of culture in a beautiful book, especially for the Book Week, but with unlimited shelf life.
