The book consists of a series of lectures given at Johns Hopkins University in the late 1880s to the early 1890s. Mr Jebb writes with immense literary authority and skill and the chapters afford a brilliant summation of the value and legacy of the great Greek poets. "To the student who seeks to know what Greece and her literature means to the present age, but has no time for superfluous dates or facts or disquisitions, this work is indispensable."

Richard Bentley (/ˈbɛntli/; 27 January 1662 – 14 July 1742) was an English classical scholar, critic, and theologian. He was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Bentley was the first Englishman to be ranked with the great heroes of classical learning and was known for his literary and textual criticism. Called the "founder of historical philology", Bentley is credited with the creation of the English school of Hellenism, and introduced the first competitive written examinations in a Western university.

Works of Richard Bentley, collected by Alexander Dyce, 1836. v. 1–2. Dissertations upon the epistles of Phalaris, Themistocles, Socrates, Euripides, and upon the fables of Aesop; also, Epistola ad Joannem Millium – v. 3. Sermons preached at Boyle's lecture; remarks upon a discourse of free-thinking; proposals for an edition of the Greek testament.
