Some Escapes and Escapers in the Ancient World
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 January 2009
Extract
The present vogue for prisoners' escape stories gives rise quite naturally to an inquiry about the ancient world: has Greek and Roman history or literature any comparable stories to offer? One might expect their pages to be crowded with such stories; escapes are usually made in time of wars and tyrannies, of upheavals and rapid changes of fortune; and heaven knows there were enough of all these in the history of Greece and Rome.
