Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Universities of Ancient Greece The germ of this book was first presented in the form of public lectures delivered at Harvard University in the spring of 1904. To the material then presented much other material, which it was found impossible to put in the lectures, has been added, and the whole has been thoroughly revised. It is the feeling of the author that the Greek education of the imperial times has not received the consideration that is due to its importance. This neglect has perhaps been partly owing to the difficulty and uncertainty that have until recently attended the reading of many of the authors of this period. We now have, for Libanius's speeches - though not yet for his letters-the excellent text edition of Richard Forster, but of some other authors important for this subject there is still lacking an authoritative text. In some measure also the neglect in question is probably to be accounted for by the general shadow under which every period of Greek antiquity not strictly to be called 'classical' has to some extent rested. Happily this shadow, which is due to the very brilliancy of the so-called 'classical' period, has been in recent years somewhat dissipated.

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Classical Greece written by Josiah Ober and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new history of classical Greece—how it rose, how it fell, and what we can learn from it Lord Byron described Greece as great, fallen, and immortal, a characterization more apt than he knew. Through most of its long history, Greece was poor. But in the classical era, Greece was densely populated and highly urbanized. Many surprisingly healthy Greeks lived in remarkably big houses and worked for high wages at specialized occupations. Middle-class spending drove sustained economic growth and classical wealth produced a stunning cultural efflorescence lasting hundreds of years. Why did Greece reach such heights in the classical period—and why only then? And how, after "the Greek miracle" had endured for centuries, did the Macedonians defeat the Greeks, seemingly bringing an end to their glory? Drawing on a massive body of newly available data and employing novel approaches to evidence, Josiah Ober offers a major new history of classical Greece and an unprecedented account of its rise and fall. Ober argues that Greece's rise was no miracle but rather the result of political breakthroughs and economic development. The extraordinary emergence of citizen-centered city-states transformed Greece into a society that defeated the mighty Persian Empire. Yet Philip and Alexander of Macedon were able to beat the Greeks in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BCE, a victory made possible by the Macedonians' appropriation of Greek innovations. After Alexander's death, battle-hardened warlords fought ruthlessly over the remnants of his empire. But Greek cities remained populous and wealthy, their economy and culture surviving to be passed on to the Romans—and to us. A compelling narrative filled with uncanny modern parallels, this is a book for anyone interested in how great civilizations are born and die.

Download or read book Schools of Hellas written by Kenneth J. Freeman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schools of Hellas: An Essay on the Practice and Theory of Ancient Greek Education From to 600 to 300 B. C The subject is in One respect specially appropriate to a youthful hand. Perhaps at no time is a man more likely to have fresh and living impressions about education than when he has himself just ceased to be a pupil, when he has just completed the subordinate stages Of a long and strenuous self-culture. It will be seen, in more than one place, that the author is not content with the purely historical aspect Of his theme, but suggests criticisms and even practical applications. It may be thought that these remarks upon a matter of pressing and growing importance are by no means the less deserving Of consideration because the writer, when he speaks of the schoolboy and the undergraduate, is unquestionably an authentic witness. But, as I have already said, the work will commend itself sufficiently to those interested in the topic, if only as a conspectus Of facts, presented with orderly arrange ment and in a simple and perspicuous style. It is not my part here to express personal feelings. But I cannot dismiss this, the first and only fruit of the classical studies Of Kenneth Freeman, without a word Of profound sorrow for the premature loss Of a most honourable heart and Vigorous mind. He was one whom a teacher may freely praise, without suspicion Of partiality for, whatever he was, he was no mere pro duct Of lessons, as this, his first essay, will sufficiently show. It is not what he would have made it; but it is his own, and it is worthy Of him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Life of the Ancient Greeks With Special Reference to Athens Classic Reprint written by Charles Burton Gulick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Ancient Greeks With Special Reference to Athens Teachers generally concur in the opinion that foot-notes are distracting to the student, if not entirely neglected by him, and for this reason other authorities besides Xenophon are not cited, though I should have liked to acknowledge the source, ancient or modern, of some statements which may seem open to question. I have often felt that some of our best texts of the authors are overburdened with an notation. Perhaps a careful reading of such chapters in the present work as suit the teacher's purpose may do away with the necessity of requiring the pupil to study long notes in the text-books, which necessarily can offer but one or two points of view, and which usually conclude by referring the student to a dictionary of antiquities. In order to render the pictures more useful, I have added an index of all the objects which they portray, by the use of which the teacher will gain much additional material, and may be able to assign subjects for short com positions ou the externals of Greek life. Though the book is intended primarily for students in our secondary schools and in the Freshman year at college, the general reader also, I hope, will find it adapted to his purpose. No knowledge of the Greek language is required, and though the citing of Greek terms could not be avoided, these have either been transliterated or so incorporated within the sentence that their meaning comes first, and the reader who has no acquaintance even with the Greek alphabet may calmly disregard them.

Download or read book Archaic and Classical Greece written by Michael H. Crawford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983-01-13 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to collect in one comprehensive volume a representative selection of ancient sources in translation, with commentary, on the history, institutions, society and economy of the Greek world from c. 750 to 338 BC - that is, the period best known and most important for the evolution of the polis, a form of political community which combined the aspects of city and state in a physical and psychological unity unparalleled either before or since. For us, the inheritors of much that the Greeks created, there is an inherent interest in the way in which they organised their society during these centuries. Although this book assumes no knowledge of Greek, the reader is introduced to a range of key Greek words and concepts which offer a direct insight into the mentality, both collective and individual, of the times. The sources themselves (all of which have been translated by the authors) are supported by introductory commentary, notes, bibliographies, chronological tables and maps. All students and teachers of the history of ancient Greece or of classical civilisation generally will find this book an invaluable tool.
