You’ve heard of Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, etc. But what do you know about the Greek underworld, minor gods, and mythical beasts? Do you know how these stories were passed on from generation to generation or what significance they held for the people who believed in them? This fascinating audiobook introduces readers to the canon of Greek mythology and its influence on the world today in language, storytelling, and even science.

The subject of Greek mythology conjures up mythical stories of glorious and wonderful Greek gods, goddesses, and heroes with tales of war, love, and betrayal. Since ancient Greece was the birth place of philosophy, theater, and politics, it is understandable that such a great civilization would be capable of creating an elaborate belief system in which to help understand the world around them.

The greatest philosopher who ever lived. A dissolute tyrant in need of an education. What could possibly go wrong? Plato was the most brilliant thinker of his age. Head of the Academy in Athens, friend of the best minds of his generation, his philosophy was famous across the Greek world. But would he ever get the chance to try his ideas out?

Perché parlare della Grecia dal 1949 al 1974? Queste due date per la storia greca contemporanea rappresentano due punti d'arrivo, ovvero il termine di due drammatiche pagine della sua storia martoriata. Venticinque anni in cui il popolo greco, per certi aspetti, non è riuscito a riappropriarsi della propria storia, delineata come per il passato aldilà delle sue frontiere. Nel 1949 finalmente cessa la guerra civile.

Hérodote (Vème siècle av. J.-C) est un historien et géographe grec. Considéré comme le premier historien, il a été surnommé le "Père de l'Histoire" par Cicéron en raison de sa grande œuvre historique, "les Histoires", également appelée "Enquête". C'est l'un des précurseurs de l'histoire universelle. Hérodote y expose le développement de l'empire perse, puis y relate les guerres médiques qui opposèrent les Perses aux Grecs. Les Histoires se composent de neuf livres, chacun portant le nom d'une muse.

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.

Non è semplice spiegare cos'ha rappresentato Sparta per il mondo antico. La polis ellenica infatti non solo è stata la storica rivale di Atene, ma un vero simbolo per tutta la Grecia classica e non solo. Il mito di Sparta oggi, dopo più di 2 mila anni, è ancora vivo più che mai grazie alle pluripremiate graphic novel di Frank Miller e alle loro trasposizioni cinematografiche. Può un popolo vivere soltanto in funzione della guerra e del valore militare? Per quanto possa sembrare assurdo la risposta è sì. L'incredibile storia di Sparta è qui a dimostrarcelo.

The myths surrounding Sparta are as old as the city itself. Even in antiquity, Sparta was a unique society, considered an enigma. The Spartans' often bizarre rules and practices have the capacity to horrify as much they do to fascinate us today. But the truth behind these stories of the exotic other can be hard to discover, lost amongst the legend of Sparta which was even perpetuated by later Spartans, who ran a thriving tourist industry that exaggerated the famed brutality of their ancestors. As Andrew Bayliss explores in this book, there was also much to admire in ancient Sparta.

He was one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century political history. Yet today, Elias Demetracopoulos is strangely overlooked - even though his life reads like an epic adventure story....

In 431 BC, the long simmering rivalry between the city-states of Athens and Sparta erupted into open warfare, and for more than a generation the two were locked in a life-and-death struggle. The war embroiled the entire Greek world, provoking years of butchery previously unparalleled in ancient Greece. Whole cities were exterminated, their men killed, their women and children enslaved.

Considerada como el enfrentamiento militar más importante y crucial de la antigüedad, las consecuencias nacidas tras este emocionante episodio histórico marcaron el rumbo definitivo no sólo de Grecia y Persia, sino de todo el mundo occidental. Ambas naciones, a la sazón las dos naciones más grandes de la época, se enfrascaron en una guerra colosal que empezó en el siglo V antes de Cristo, que duró más de 60 años, y que concluyó con la derrota de quien menos se esperaba: Persia.

Culminadas dos de las tres guerras médicas entre el mundo heleno y Persia, un nuevo orden se había instaurado en el mundo occidental del siglo V a.C. Los griegos se habían convertido en el muro de defensa de Europa, con el consiguiente desarrollo y riqueza derivado de tal condición. Sin embargo, el éxito muy pronto traería envidias, resentimientos e intolerancias sobre todo en sus dos pueblos más importantes.

Un momento crucial para la sobrevivencia del mundo occidental. Hacia 500 años antes de Cristo, el imperio Persa, acaso el más grande de su tiempo, anhelaba conquistar Europa. Sin embargo, nunca imaginó que en el estrecho paso de las Termópilas conocería la fuerza de un pueblo, el griego, que haría de su amor por la libertad su mejor arma.
