This is very much an introductory book where each chapter ends with a list of further reading, which meant that it didn't really tell me things I didn't already know, but it was a good refresher and kept me interested all the way through. ( ) In the words of the Roman poet Horace, "Greece though conquered took her fearce conquerer captive, and brought in the arts to the uncivilized Latin peoples." These words are indicative of this work which is the legacy of the Hellenistic era. The Hellenistic world ranges from architecture, philosophy, literature, and the visual arts, to military strategy and science. The study begins with the eighth century BC, witnessing the emergence of the Greek city states, and extends to the conquest of Alexander the Great and the establishment of the Greek monarchy some five centuries later. Chapters dealing with political and social history are interspersed with chapters on philosophy in the arts, including Homer, Greek myth, Aristotle, and Plato, as well as Greek dramatists such as Sophocles and Aristophanes, and the flourishing of the visual and plastic arts. Chapters include the history of the archaic period, Homer, Greek myth and Hesiod, lyric and elegiac poetry, early Greek philosophy, the history of the classical period, Greek drama, Greek historians, life and society in classical Greece, classical Greek philosophy, Greek religion, Greek art and architecture, the history of the Hellenistic period, Hellenistic culture and literature, Hellenistic philosophy and science, and Hellenistic and Graeco- Roman art. Shared blood, shared language, shared religion, and shared customs. These, according to Herodotus, were the ingredients of Greekness (p. 144). This volume is extraordinarily helpful on many aspects of Greece and the Hellenistic world. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
