Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Modern Greece, Vol. 1 of 2: From Its Conquest by the Romans, B. C. 146, to the Present Time In the composition of the following pages it has been my object to supply information, so far as it was possible, regarding those later events in the history of Greece, of which our accounts have hitherto been imperfect and unsatisfactory. With this view I have passed rapidly over the era which has been treated of by former writers, and confined my attention principally to the period subsequent to the reign of Justinian, during which the annals of the country have been almost totally neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated From the Greek One would think a Rory of this nature fo fit for age to talk of, and infancy to hear, were incapable of be ing handed down to us. But we find the tradition again taken up to be heightened in one part, and carried forward in another. Heliodorus, who had heard of this claim which Egypt put in for Homer, endea vours to Rrengthen it by naming Thebes for the par ticular place of his birth. He allows too, that a prier was his reputed father, but that his real father, according to the opinion of Egypt, was Mercury: he lays, That when the prier was celebrating the rites of his country, and therefore flept with his wife in the temple, the god had knowledge of her, and begot Homer that he was born with tufts of hair in his 1' thigh, as a fign of unlawful generation, from whence he was called Homer by the nations through which he wandered that he hidelf was the occaron why this Rory of his divine extraétion is nu known; becaufe he neither told his name, race, nor country, being afhamed of his exile, to which his reputed father drove him from among the confecrat ed youths, on account of that mark which their! Priers ereemed a terimony of an inceruous birth. T hefe are the extravagant Rories by which men, who have not been able to exprefs how much they ad mire him, tranfcend the bounds of probability to fay fomething extraordinary. The mind that becomes dazzled with the light of his performances, lofes the common idea of a man in the fancied fplendor of per feétiun ll'. Fees nothing lefs than a god worthy to bq his father, nothing lefs than a prophete deferving to be his nurfe; and, growing unwilling that he fllollld be fpoken of in a language beneath its imaginations, delivers fables in the place of hirory.

A few of the most plausible conjectures, generally though not always adopted by Spiro, have been assigned to their authors in footnotes. In my translation I have not distinguished be tween Medes and Persians, or Ilium Troy. It is rather deceptive to an English reader to do so, and the Greek scholar can easily tell from the original which word in each case was used by Pausanias.

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. This book is based on evidence available on a new interactive website. To learn more, please visit: http://polis.stanford.edu/.
