Ken Atchity, former professor at Occidental College
and Fulbright professor at the University of Bologna, is author of
13 books (including A Writer's Time, The Renaissance Reader, The
Classical Roman Reader, and The Classical Greek Reader),
and was editor and co-founder of Dreamworks: An Interdisciplinary
Quarterly devoted to the relationship between dreams and the arts.
He is currently president of Atchity Editorial/Entertainment, Inc.,
a New York & Los Angeles-based motion picture production &
literary management company.
"Atchity's passionate connection to a lost and compelling world
underlies every entry in his page-turning Classical Greek Reader.
In a refreshing departure from the standard anthology format, he draws
us into the realm not only of Plato and Aeschylus but of lesser-known
figures who chronicled the ancient world in vivid and unexpected ways.
Across the centuries...we find ourselves in the company of physicians
and storytellers, herbalists and romance writers--and women. Atchity
is mining a tradition of inexhaustible riches: the voices we encounter
here offer passage to the literary, artistic, social, political, religious,
scientific and philosophical texts that underlie Western intellectual
tradition..." --Kathleen Burke, book review editor, Smithsonian
