The text of the Greek poems is in Greek throughout, without translation. "This book aims at giving a selection of the best pieces of Greek poetry. Owing to the fragmentary state of Greek lyric poetry an Oxford Book of Greek Verse cannot, like the Oxford Book of English Verse, confine itself to complete short poems. So the editors have selected freely what seemed the best passags from the epics, tragedies and other long poems. The pieces are arranged so far as possible chronologically, but in the absence of certain evidence much of such dating can only be regarded as tentative." - from the Preface, page v.

Olden was a prominent lawyer and journalist of the Weimar Republic, deeply opposed to the rise of National Socialism in Germany. He fled Germany the day after the Reichstag fire in 1933, under threat of arrest by the Nazis. He was invited to lecture at Oxford University by scholar and public intellectual Gilbert Murray, who provided a cottage for Olden. Olden spent some five years at Oxford, where he wrote Is Germany as a Hopeless Case? as a warning to the British public of the dangers of Nazism. When war broke out, he was interned in an improvised camp near Southampton. He was subsequently invited to New York by the New School of Social Studies. Olden accepted. As he left Britain, he watched as his passport was stamped 'No Return'. The ship he was travelling on, which was carrying evacuated children among other passengers, was torpedoed by the Germans, Goebbels claiming it had been targeted because Olden was on board. Olden and his wife were killed. Is Germany a Hopeless Case?, the only one of his works to be published in English in the first instance, has become influential. An important work.
