The Greek Way to Western Civilization [RARE BOOKS]

Glory That Was Greece

"To rejoice in life, to find the world beauti- ful and delightful to live in, was a mark of the Greek Spirit..."

In this brilliant book you will share this joy as you dine and talk with Socrates, hunt with Xenophon, listen to the orations of Pericles and join the audience at per- formances of the great tragedies, and the comedies of Aristophanes. You will travel with Herodotus, the world's first sight-seer, and learn of war and suffering from Thucydides. And most important, you will under- stand the Greeks' greatest achievement-the develop- ment of that perfect balance between spirit and mind which holds a vital meaning for the world today.
