José B. Torres | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Cornutus was a Roman philosopher who wrote this Greek compendium on the Greek gods in the first century A.D. He wanted to teach the basics of Stoic philosophy to an unknown Roman boy using this mythological work by etymologizing and allegorizing the gods’ names and epithets.

This is the first critical edition of the compendium since 1881.

Original author: Lucius Annaeus Cornutus
