Download or read book Hellas A Short History of Ancient Greece written by C. E. Robinson and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-03-23 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greek History, someone has said, little that happened mattered much; it was what the Greeks thought that counted. This, broadly speaking, is the truth; and here I have tried to lay the main emphasis on Greek ideas, setting them against the background of historic events. Obviously the best clue to their understanding is to be found in what the Greeks themselves wrote; and, though no English version can be an adequate substitute, I have given in translation whatever passages appear to me most revealing. With these it has been my object to convey effectively the author’s meaning rather than slavishly to reproduce his phraseology; and I have taken, I confess, some liberty with the task, abbreviating by frequent omissions of words, clauses and even whole sentences, occasionally elaborating to bring out the full sense, and above all recasting the original syntactic construction in approximation to our own modern idiom. In the illustrations, similarly, I have here and there allowed myself the licence of reconstruction when details have suffered through accident or age. I have to record with gratitude my great debt to Mrs. Eric James and Mr. W. H. Plommer and Mr. L. F. R. Audemars for valuable criticisms and suggestions. My thanks are also due to Messrs. Methuen, the publishers of my “History of Greece,” for permission to produce this complementary volume. It may be that the reader will be encouraged to further study of the subject; and on certain points—few among many which limits of space have compelled me to summarize or omit—I have ventured to insert a cross-reference.

Download or read book Hellas written by Cyril Edward Robinson and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1955 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""In Greek history," says Mr. Robinson, "little that happened mattered much; it is what the Greeks thought that counted." It has counted so much, indeed, that no one of us can enter into his European cultural inheritance without some knowledge of what the Greeks thought. Study of the Greeks transcends antiquarianism: their experience is permanently relevant and perennially capable of providing illumination and direction for our own spiritual problems. It is upon this illumination that Mr. Robinson has focused his book; his aim is to present the aspects of Greek history that are of abiding and direct interest to the thoughtful modern. In the sense that a span requiring six stout volumes of the Cambridge Ancient Hstory is here dealt with in fewer than two hundred pages, this is a popularization; but it is a popularization of the right sort, done by a mature scholar whose more technical work compels respect for his general interpretations."--Foreword

Download or read book The Greeks written by Paul Cartledge and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an original and challenging answer to the question: 'Who were the Classical Greeks?' Paul Cartledge - 'one of the most theoretically alert, widely read and prolific of contemporary ancient historians' (TLS) - here examines the Greeks and their achievements in terms of their own self-image, mainly as it was presented by the supposedly objective historians: Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon. Many of our modern concepts as we understand them were invented by the Greeks: for example, democracy, theatre, philosophy, and history. Yet despite being our cultural ancestors in many ways, their legacy remains rooted in myth and the mental and material contexts of many of their achievements are deeply alien to our own ways of thinking and acting. The Greeks aims to explore in depth how the dominant group (adult, male, citizen) attempted, with limited success, to define themselves unambiguously in polar opposition to a whole series of 'Others' - non-Greeks, women, non-citizens, slaves and gods. This new edition contains an updated bibliography, a new chapter entitled 'Entr'acte: Others in Images and Images of Others', and a new afterword.

Download or read book Home Life in Hellas Greece and the Greeks written by Z. Duckett Ferriman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in Hellas Greece and the Greeks The Author takes this opportunity to acknowledge the kind courtesy of the Director of the British School at Athens, who allowed him to use the school library during his stay. For much information concerning Folk-lore he is indebted to Sir Rennell Rodd's Customs and Lore of Modern Greece, to Dr. Bernhard Schmidt's Das Volksleben der Neugriechen, and indirectly to the sidelights thrown on the subject by the collections of Greek Folk-songs of Fauriel, Passow, and G. F. Abbott. The account of Naxos and Santorin was written before he had seen Mr. W. Miller's Latins of the Levant, otherwise he would have been able to make a better use of his opportunities. That work, the outcome of laborious research in a rather obscure but fascinating field, has revealed much that he longed to know on a subject that has had a special attraction for him since his first visit to the Cyclades many years ago.
