L. Annaeus Cornutus

The first-century CE North African philosopher Cornutus worked in Rome as a philosopher and is best known today for his surviving work Greek Theology, which explores the origins and names of the Greeks gods. However, he was also interested in the language and literature of the poets Persius and Lucan and wrote one of the first commentaries on Virgil. This book collects and translates all of our evidence for Cornutus for the first time and includes the first published English translation of Greek Theology.  This collection offers entirely fresh insight into the intellectual world of the first century.
