Download or read book The Story of Greece and Rome written by Antony Spawforth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of the intermingled civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome, spanning more than six millennia from the late Bronze Age to the seventh century The magnificent civilization created by the ancient Greeks and Romans is the greatest legacy of the classical world. However, narratives about the "civilized" Greek and Roman empires resisting the barbarians at the gate are far from accurate. Tony Spawforth, an esteemed scholar, author, and media contributor, follows the thread of civilization through more than six millennia of history. His story reveals that Greek and Roman civilization, to varying degrees, was supremely and surprisingly receptive to external influences, particularly from the East. From the rise of the Mycenaean world of the sixteenth century B.C., Spawforth traces a path through the ancient Aegean to the zenith of the Hellenic state and the rise of the Roman empire, the coming of Christianity and the consequences of the first caliphate. Deeply informed, provocative, and entirely fresh, this is the first and only accessible work that tells the extraordinary story of the classical world in its entirety.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations From the Dawn of History, to the Twentieth Century At the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, the inscription over the booth of the Egyptian exhibit was, From the oldest nation to the young est, and it is the custom of all histories to give to Egypt the credit which She thus claimed. Yet it is by no means certain that such credit is her due. There are researches going on at this hour which cannot fail to throw a flood of light on the problem. Indeed, it is safe to say that the glory that has long been accorded to the Land of the Pharaohs has already been taken from it. In 1897, the remarkable discoveries made by the Pennsylvania University expedi tion at Nippur, in Asia Minor, moved back the history of Babylonian civilization to a period of more than years before the birth Of christ. Nippur has been proven to be Calneh, one of the four cities mentioned in Genesis x. 10 as the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod. Professor Hilprecht, scientific director of the expedition, returned to Constantinople in the summer of 1900 and described some of the results of that year's work in the ancient city. Un doubtedly the most important discovery is the library of the great temple of Nippur. As far back as 1889, when Dr. Peters, of New York, was at the head of the expedition, Professor Hilprecht pointed out that the remains of this library would be found at the very place where they were discovered eleven years later. In the Space of three months, fully tablets, covered with cuneiform or wedge shaped writing, were brought to light. The writing was found to be of a different character from that on previous tablets, which were mainly private busi ness contracts, conveyances, letters, etc. The latest discoveries are historical, philological and literary, and treat of mythology, of grammar and lexicography, of science, and of mathematics. It will require a considerable time to complete the investigations and translation, but it is believed that they will enable the world for the first time to form a truthful idea of life in Babylonia, which ex tends far back into the remote ages of antiquity.
