Socrate va par les rues d'Athènes, interpellant ceux qu'il trouve sur son chemin : Connais-toi toi- même ! Ne te soucie pas des richesses, cherche la vérité et deviens philosophe ! Ce n'est pas du goût des Athéniens. Au terme d'un procès, Socrate est condamné à boire la ciguë. Va-t-il s'enfuir ? Un philosophe doit-il craindre la mort ? Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ?

The Neolithic period came before the Bronze Age and is generally regarded as the final subdivision of the Stone Age.

The island city of Tyre along the coast of Lebanon was for centuries an impregnable fortress and key to unlocking Phoenician and Persian power in the Near East. Its fall was first prophesied in the Book of Ezekiel; but it would not be Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who would take the city as the Bible foretold, but a Macedonian warrior king, Alexander. Alexander's siege of 332 BC was one of the most remarkable events in the classical world. The Siege of Tyre is the first book-length treatment of this critical and fascinating campaign

Afrodita nació de una extraña mezcla de sangre divina, genitales cortados y espuma de mar, y llegó a las costas de Chipre mucho antes que los demás dioses olímpicos. Una figura tan mezquina como famosa. No es solamente una deidad clave del panteón griego, sino también una figura central en muchos de los mitos que hoy conocemos.

Philosophy, art, democracy, language, even computers—the glories of Greek civilization have shaped our world even more profoundly than we realize. Pericles and the Parthenon may be familiar, but what of Epaminondas, the Theban general who saved the Greek world from Spartan tyranny?

One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
