The ancient world was not ancient to its inhabitants—it was vibrant. Studying people from the outside affords knowledge and insight, but to transform that knowledge and insight into wisdom and discernment, we must open ourselves to seeing the world through the eyes of the people of the past.
In Ancient Voices, Louis Markos helps readers hear the unique voices of Polybius and Cicero, Horace and Ovid, Seneca and Suetonius, and a host of other ancient Romans who lived their lives and dreamed their dreams in a world that may seem foreign to us but which helped to shape the world in which we live.
