The Ancient Greeks have often been accused of being universally fatalistic – that is to say that man is not master of his fate but that fate masters him. Do what he will he can-not escape his destiny. Indeed, a superficial reading of Greek literature often suggests such a view, but as Prof. Leech shows, a closer reading of Greek literature shows a far more nuanced and varied view of the role of Fate in the lives of men. With the view of the Greeks as fatalistic still prevalent in discussions of Classical literature, this essay remains relevant and illuminating to the understanding of key works of Classical literature and philosophy.
