Born To Be Dead

Since it was first published in Leipzig in 1868, Johannes Overbeck’s Ancient Literary Sources for the History of the Visual Arts of the Greeks has been a standard work, not just for all classical disciplines, but also for art history and related studies. This completely revised new edition in five volumes goes far beyond a simple revision and addition of new sources, it also takes into account the results of archaeological research since Overbeck, as well as changes in the knowledge and needs of future users of the handbook.
