Summary "Iστορία της Αρχαίας Ελληνικής Λογοτεχνίας" by Gilbert Murray is a scholarly work on ancient Greek literature written in the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Greek literature, focusing on significant authors and texts from antiquity to later periods while accommodating a broader audience beyond specialists in the field. At the start of the book, the translator discusses the changes made to the text, including a shift from polytonic to monotonic orthography, and the inclusion of original Greek texts alongside English translations. He expresses a desire to fill a gap in existing literature by offering a concise history that is both accurate and accessible to a wider readership, much like earlier French and German works. The introduction outlines the rich diversity of Greek writers and their thoughts, emphasizing the importance of examining not only the literary output but also the social, political, and personal contexts in which these authors produced their works.
