The Classics for the Million. Finnish
Klassillinen kirjallisuus yleistajuisesti esitettynä
E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
"Klassillinen kirjallisuus yleistajuisesti esitettynä" by Henry Grey is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide an accessible overview of classical literature, covering significant works and authors from ancient Greece and Rome, including Homeros, Hesiodos, and Virgil, among many others. It seeks to highlight the timeless relevance of these classics and to inspire modern readers to explore these foundational texts of Western literature. The opening of the text introduces the purpose of the book and its context in relation to classical literature. The author reflects on the intellectual legacy of ancient authors, noting that many ideas considered modern were already explored by figures like Socrates and Plato long ago. In this section, Grey emphasizes the importance of understanding and appreciating the complexities of classical texts, which can be challenging for contemporary readers. The beginning serves not only as a preface to the material covered in the subsequent chapters but also as a call to delve deeper into the themes and narratives that continue to shape literary and philosophical discourse today.

Reading ease score: 27.2 (College graduate level). Very difficult to read.
