Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek History Professor swoboda has won so high a rank among students of classical antiquity that it would be superfluous, and indeed presumptuous, for his translator to recall that distinguished scholar's excellent works to the memory of the learned reader; and the little History now presented in English dress, though addressed to a less academic audience, is fully equal to the author's reputation. It has the rare merits of succinctness and lucidity, however imperfectly these ex cellences may be conveyed in translation and in addition it brings the history of Greece down to the present day. To most readers the story of ancient Greece is a fairy tale from olden times, at best half romance, and severed by an im passable chasm from the reality of the modern age. This conception is thoroughly false; the history of the Greeks, like that of the Jews, to which it has manifold points of likeness, has passed without a break from the classical into the imperial, the medieval, and the modern eras, and bids fair to become no mean chapter in the story of the nations that has yet to be unfolded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 1 Though we can add nothing to the existing records of Greek History, the estimate placed upon their value, and the conclusions drawn from them are constantly changing, and for this reason the story which has been told so often will be told anew from time to time, so long as it continues to have an interest for mankind - that is, let us hope, so long as mankind continue to exist. The present work is intended for readers who are acquainted with the outlines of the subject, and have some knowledge of the Greek language. It has been written in the belief that an intelligible sketch of Greek civilisation may be given within' a brief compass - not with the h0pe of throwing new light on 01d obscurities, or quoting fresh evidence where all the evidence has been long ago collected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greek People, an Elementary History of Greece The plan of this book is not only to present a simple outline of the chief events in the history of ancient Greece, but also to picture the customs of the people, their manner of living and thinking and feeling. So far as the size and scope of the little volume will permit, the names of those who were masters in art and literature are introduced, not in separate chapters as mere adjuncts to political history, but in their natural connection with the annals of their times, and ever in accordance with Plutarch's dictum, Often an action of small note, a short saying or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges or the most important battles.

There are no castes. The nobles are those who are the strongest and most active, the bravest, the most eloquent. It is because they possess these qualities that they are regarded as sons of the gods and receive respect and obedience. But any man may claim this origin if he can prove it by his valor. Between the people and the nobles there is no insurmountable barrier; no man may live slothfully upon any ancestral fame.

Download or read book A Smaller History of Greece written by William Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Smaller History of Greece: From the Earliest Times to the Roman Conquest is intended to be an introduction to Greek history appropriate for students on the high school level. The book is divided into twenty-two chapters and provides a fairly broad and all-encompassing dissection of Greek history. The first chapter details the geography of Greece and includes a number of maps to serve as a visual aide to students. From there, the book takes a chronological approach to telling the history of Greece. The book begins its history in 776 BCE, telling the story of the development of language and writing in Greece. The book proceeds through Greece's history, offering short chapters on many of the most significant events in the history of the Mediterranean nation, from The Persian Wars to the supremacy of Sparta to the death of Alexander the Great and Rome's conquest of Greece. Those unfamiliar with Greek history will surely appreciate the survey approach adopted by Smith in the writing of this textbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece: For High Schools and Academies Though the Greeks were constantly at war, we must not lay too much stress on the details of their campaigns and battles. It is far more profitable to learn the character and achievements of the great men, whatever their field of activity, to follow the development of the social and political life, and to enter into the spirit of the civilization. Is it too much to hope that this book may do a good service in directing the attention of the reader to the nobler and more instructive aspects of Greek life?

Download or read book The History of Greece Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Ernst Curtius and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 2 In the same measure in which the Greek settlements had overspread every coast, the mainland of the Greeks had continued to narrow and decrease. For the Greek nationality was so essentially based on a particular civilisation, that all the members of the Greek race who took no part in its progress, however near in respect of their habitations, appeared to be excluded from the nationality; whereas the remotest regions in which a fortunate settlement had enabled Greek civilisation to fix its roots belonged in every sense to the Greeks. After this fashion the land of Greece had separated from the body of the mountain-country stretching to the north of the AEgean; in other words, the peninsula-country had separated from the mainland. In Epirus a number of tribes akin to one another first possessed a common sanctuary, in connexion with which they afterwards received a common name (vol. i. p. 104). The sacred oak of Dodona put forth its leaves as late as the age of the Antonines; nay, the oracle of Zeus survived for centuries the end of the history of the Greek people, and, as its primitive sanctuary, always remained an object of veneration.
