Cómo enseñarle los clásicos a tu perro

una extravagante introducción a los antiguos griegos y romanos

Womack, Philip

It must have been a beautiful moment between a man and his dog, but Philip Womack made a joke about Cerberus, the three-headed hound from hell, and to Una, his beloved lurcher, it all sounded Chinese... or Greek. He then chased after a squirrel, and Womack was left wondering what else Una didn't know about the great civilizations of the past. The Greeks and Romans are the foundation for much of what we read, hear and watch today, from the baked goods on Game of Thrones to the lotus eaters on the reality show Love Island. In this unique introduction to the classical world, Womack guides us, along with Una, through a swift odyssey: you will learn to distinguish Odysseus from Oedipus, Polyxena from Polydorus... and then you can teach it to your dog, although perhaps the story of the hunting dogs that tore their master to pieces is best left for another day.
