Classical Studies - Penguin Complete Greeks and Romans Collection
Ranked #2,637 in Books, #221,933 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 page has 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..
The Complete Greeks & Romans
©1996-2006, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates
The epics of Homer; the great dramas of Aristophanes and Aeschylus; the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates; Thucydides' magnificent account of the Peloponnesian War; the fables of Aesop; and many other works of the ancient Greeks and Romans are represented in this extraordinary collection.

With 102 titles, The Complete Greeks and Romans is the most comprehensive collection of its kind. Included are:
