Table of ContentsReviews'Spanning half a millennium, Antiquities and Classical Traditions in Latin America offers an impressive demonstration of the vibrancy of the classical tradition in a wide range of social domains and practices: education, the book trade, public ceremonies, the visual arts, popular culture and, above all, the process of nation-building. The contributors vividly reveal the impact of Greek and Roman culture on creole and indigenous authors and actors in the Americas, from the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and Chimalpahin to Jos Mart and Roberto Bola o. While there have been several influential studies of the ways in which knowledge of classical antiquity informed early European impressions of the New World, the focus of this volume is on the importance of the afterlife of Greece, Rome and Byzantium within Latin America itself.'
