Penguin "The Complete Greeks & Romans" Collection @ Amazon.com
Ranked #353 in Books, #36,749 overall
Classical Studies Made Easy
Much of Western Civilization is derived from the works of the ancient Greeks and Romans, so a foundation in the Classics is essential not only for its direct benefits, but to fully understand the modern classics which often refer to them.
Amazon apparently has NOT done away with this collection without even the courtesy of leaving the page live for "used & new" sellers -- but the pagehas been AWOL for some time. We're leaving this page up in case Amazon gets their act together and because most people just pick a title or two from the top-sellers list anyway..

These Penguin Library Collections are an Amazon exclusive subject to availability. They are periodically unavailable, and always seem to be a little more expensive each time they are re-issued. In spite of their relatively high cost, they are an excellent value, selling at a much deeper discount than the individual volumes prchased separately.
