As any Classicist would telly you, the book is rife with inaccuracies. A shame, because there are many thrilling tales of re-discoveries of ancient literature to be told.

Or that de rerum natura was in danger of being lost. https://thewrongmonkey.blogspot.com/2017/11/stephen-greenblatts-swerve-is-not-as.html
