| Summary | "Authors of Greece" by T. W. Lumb is a literary analytical work that appears to have been written in the early 20th century. This text serves as an exploration and appreciation of Greek literature, emphasizing its modernity and relevance by drawing parallels with contemporary societal issues such as democracy, militarism, and philosophical inquiry. Lumb's objective is to elucidate the significance of Greek authors, arguing that their works possess a timeless message and are foundational to the understanding of European literature. The opening of the work includes a preface illustrating Lumb's views on the value of Greek literature in the modern context. He asserts that the themes and character representations in Greek works resonate with today's societal dilemmas, and he criticizes the contemporary neglect of this literary heritage. This segment also includes the introduction by Cyril Alington, emphasizing a growing recognition of Greek literature's importance. It suggests that the upcoming analyses will delve into the works of prominent Greek writers such as Homer, Aeschylus, and others, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination of their contributions to literature and thought.
