MCKEOWN, J. C., A Cabinet of Greek Curiosities. Strange Tales and Surprising Facts from the Cradle of Western Civilization. Oxford University Press, 2013. 304p. Hardback. In a witty miscellany, McKeown acknowledges the idealised status of classical Greece, but brings it down to our brute level by quoting judiciously from its satirical poets, speculative philosophers, brutal princes and self-serving politicians.
