This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wonderful…a thoughtful discussion of what made [the Greeks] so important, in their own time and in ours." —Natalie Haynes, Independent The ancient Greeks invented democracy, theater, rational science, and philosophy. They built the Parthenon and the Library of Alexandria. Yet this accomplished people never formed a single unified social or political identity. In Introducing the Ancient Greeks, acclaimed classics scholar Edith Hall offers a bold synthesis of the full 2,000 years of Hellenic history to show how the ancient Greeks were the right people, at the right time, to take up the baton of human progress. Hall portrays a uniquely rebellious, inquisitive, individualistic people whose ideas and creations continue to enthrall thinkers centuries after the Greek world was conquered by Rome. These are the Greeks as you’ve never seen them before.
Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition by : Graham Speake
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition written by Graham Speake and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 1941 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hellenism is the living culture of the Greek-speaking peoples and has a continuing history of more than 3,500 years. The Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition contains approximately 900 entries devoted to people, places, periods, events, and themes, examining every aspect of that culture from the Bronze Age to the present day. The focus throughout is on the Greeks themselves, and the continuities within their own cultural tradition. Language and religion are perhaps the most obvious vehicles of continuity; but there have been many others--law, taxation, gardens, music, magic, education, shipping, and countless other elements have all played their part in maintaining this unique culture. Today, Greek arts have blossomed again; Greece has taken its place in the European Union; Greeks control a substantial proportion of the world's merchant marine; and Greek communities in the United States, Australia, and South Africa have carried the Hellenic tradition throughout the world. This is the first reference work to embrace all aspects of that tradition in every period of its existence.

Book Synopsis The History of Greece by : Thomas Keightley
Download or read book The History of Greece written by Thomas Keightley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece: To Which Is Added, a Chronological Table of Contemporary History This history, since its first publication, has received many additions and improvements. For as I wrote each of my his tories some improvement suggested itself, which I then trans ferred to its predecessors when they came to a new edition. Of most of these an account will be found in the Preface to the Fourth Edition of my History of Rome. Here I shall only notice one improvement. The references to authorities in the first edition were rare; not that I was not fully aware of their great importance, but the necessity of keeping the book of a limited size in order that it might be sold at a moderate price, and an idea that those who would use it might care little about authorities, led me to neglect them except in some important cases. I was soon however induced to change my plan by receiving a letter from the late Dr. Arnold of Rugby, in which, when speaking of the work, he said, I lost no time in directing the introduction of your History into this school, where I think it will be found both agreeable and useful. In another edition I think that I would in your case put the authorities at the bottom of the page. Without them the book can only be aboy's book, with them it would be an admirable summary of Grecian history for any one. And I have found by experience in writing his tory, that I like to have the references even as a check upon my own accuracy. I think one is apt otherwise to write a little beyond the warrant of one's authority. But this is a matter of opinion on which many I dare say will differ. There can be no doubt, I think, as to the general merits of your book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Illustrated History of Ancient Greece by : Paul Cartledge
Download or read book The Cambridge Illustrated History of Ancient Greece written by Paul Cartledge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumptuously illustrated in color and packed with information, The Cambridge Illustrated History of Ancient Greece is now available for the first time in paperback. Offering fresh interpretations of classical Greek culture, the book devotes as much attention to social, economic and intellectual aspects as to politics and war. Paul Cartledge and his team of contributors ask what it was like for an ordinary person to partake in "the glory that was Greece." They examine the influences of the environment and economy; the experience of workers, soldiers, slaves, peasants and women; and the roles of myth and religion, art and culture, and science and education. This is a cultural history from the bottom up, which lays bare the far-reaching linguistic, literary, artistic and political legacy of ancient Greece, and seeks justification for Shelley's claim that "we are all Greeks." Paul Cartledge is Professor in Greek History in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge and is Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Clare College, Cambridge. He is the author of several books about ancient Greece, including Spartan Reflections (California, 2001), Hellenistic and Roman Sparta (Routledge, 2001) and Sparta and Lakonia (Routledge, 2002).
