The student and successor of Aristotle, Theophrastus of Eresus is the author of one of the most important botanical works to have survived antiquity. A polymath and enthusiast of many interests, his studies explored all aspects of human knowledge and experience, especially natural science. On a social level, Theophrastus’ famous ‘Characters’ is a collection of descriptive sketches, serving as the earliest example of character-writing and providing an engaging insight into daily life in the Hellenic world. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.
