About This Item
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0198140827 . Book is fine. DJ has some shelfwear and creasing. ; 400 pages; The Oeconomicus is unique in Greek literature in combining a discussion of the proper management of a family or household and didactic material on agriculture within a Socratic dialogue. One of the richest primary sources for the social, economic, and intellectual history of classical Athens, it has been largely neglected despite the current widespread interest in the subjects discussed. This volume provides a new translation to complement the Oxford Classical Text, and a comprehensive introduction and commentary, making the book readily accessible to those both with and without Greek. .
