あらすじ・解説
Take a voyage to the crucible of Western civilization and explore the country whose culture and politics shaped the foundation of modern society.
What is it about the ancient Greek world that makes it so pivotal? Why, thousands of years later, is it still alive and captivating our imaginations, not to mention forming the basis for many of our legal and political proceedings?
The social and cultural legacy of the Greeks was so significant that even Rome, who conquered Greece, assimilated much of its culture. From art and myth to science and history, the story of Greek civilization holds the seeds of many aspects of modern life.
In this book, you’ll explore the true history, culture, and politics of Ancient Greece. In a concise, entertaining, and easy-to-read narrative, you’ll discover:
- How Greece’s unique geographical pockets influenced its growth
- What prehistoric and so-called “Dark Age” civilizations contributed to later culture
- Where modern traditions like marathons and the Olympics really came from
- Why the fifth century BCE is known as the “Golden Age” of Athens
- What caused the decades-long Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta
- Why military leaders like Darius of Persia, Pericles, and Alexander the Great had such an impact
- How revolutions in thought, art, and politics shaped Ancient Greece and our world today
And much more.
