| | 4. |  | The Greek Myths: Complete Edition
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.08
Customer Review:
I didn't bother finishing this one. The text is akwardly constructed, as if it has been translated poorly (though it wasn't) and the content comes across as a fairly superficial treatment of the mythology. However it does preserve the violence, sex and such not that would be mostly glossed over in... more info

from Vintage
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
Although I can't say enough about how great this novel is, I'll limit myself to three comments:

from Penguin Classics
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
Suetonius was a master historian, and the material he has to work with here--the insanity, sheer brutality, and fabulous riches of the Roman emperors--falls into the category of: nobody could make this stuff up. It's that strange. Even if you didn't know you were interested in Roman history, you're... more info

| | 10. |  | The Golden Ass: The Transformations of Lucius
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $8.05
Customer Review:
This is easily my favorite Classic work of literature. Unlike many of the other classics, such as the Odyssey, Iliad, Aeneid, and others, this book kept my attention the entire time and I couldn't wait to finish. Robert Graves does a tremendous job of translating it into an easily readable version.
