Aucune nation dans l'histoire n'a laissé au monde un héritage aussi grand que celui des Grecs. Il semble à peine croyable qu'un peuple aussi dispersé, installé sur les îles et péninsules rocheuses de la mer Égée, ait pu accomplir tant de choses ; mais il a excellé dans tout ce qu'il a entrepris, qu'il s'agisse de guerre ou de politique, d'art ou d'athlétisme, de littérature ou de philosophie. Les Grecs ont donné une nouvelle définition de l'humanité. Leurs idéaux, leurs héros sont devenus les nôtres.

Socrates was not a teacher. He wasn’t a guru, a prophet, or a preacher. He was a barefoot stonecutter who wandered the streets of Athens asking uncomfortable questions — and refusing to stop when the answers didn’t make sense.

Although none of these men were able to replicate Alexander the Great’s territorial success, a few carved out sizable empires and were able to establish long-lasting political dynasties.

Winston Churchill said, “History is written by the victors,” and never has this been truer than in the case of the Parthian Empire. The Parthians left few written records, and most of what we know about the empire comes from its two main adversaries—first the Greeks and then, for most of its history, the Romans. Fortunately, modern scholarship and archaeology have recently helped us to understand a little more about this ancient empire.
