Writing of historical interpretation the great German classical scholar U. von WilamowitzMoellendorff once compared it with the Homeric picture of ghosts revived by the blood of the living warning that in the very process of revival the ghosts inevitably absorb an alien element. In this wideranging collection Professor Hugh LloydJones looks at the influence of the Greeks on creative thinkers and scholars since the close of the eighteenth century, when for the first time, largely as a result of German scholarship, the Greeks began to be studied directly, rather than through Roman eyes. The men discussed range from Coleridge, Leopardi, Gladstone, Wagner and Nietzsche to scholars of our own day such as Edouard Fraenkel, Rudolf Pfeiffer and E. R. Dodds.

I enjoyed the historical context provided in this book, but some sections felt a bit dense and hard to get through. It definitely has its moments of brilliance, especially in its analysis of influential composers. Worth a read if you're into music history!
