Wright also discusses the works of major Greek philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, and their impact on literature.The later sections of the book focus on the Hellenistic and Roman periods, including the works of authors such as Apollonius of Rhodes, Callimachus, and Longus. The book concludes with a discussion of the literary achievements of Julian the Apostate, the last pagan emperor of Rome.Throughout the book, Wright provides readers with detailed analysis and commentary on the major works and authors of Greek literature, as well as the cultural and historical context in which they were written.
