An NATO und Warschauer Pakt erinnert die Konstellation zwischen Attischem Seebund und Peloponnesischem Bund: Hier eine Organisation demokratischer Staaten, die sich über ein Meer spannt, dort eine Allianz autokratischer Staaten, die weitgehend einen Block auf dem Land bildet. Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.

El esfuerzo griego por construir un espacio humano donde fuera posible la justicia y donde el destino común estuviera regido por la voluntad de los hombres se vinculó desde el origen a la existencia de ciudadanos: ellos eran la ciudad y, por tanto, el Estado.

Captured centaurs and satyrs, incompetent seers, people who suddenly change sex, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh—these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology—from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes. This unique anthology presents the largest collection of these tales ever assembled.

A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi. Erősebbek és bölcsebbek ugyan, de közben ugyanolyan esendőek, és ballépéseikkel, felfokozott szerelmi életükkel, veszekedéseikkel bármikor képesek felforgatni az isteni és az emberi világot.

This is a short biography of Aristotle, powered by AI. The audiobook delves into the early life of Aristotle when he joined Plato's Academy and described his most significant contribution to the arts and sciences.

Plato's Crito is a dialogue between an imprisoned Socrates and Crito, a wealthy Athenian who has formulated and financed a plan for Socrates to escape and live in exile.

Può sembrare curioso, ma attorno al vino ruota una gran parte dell'identità di Greci e Romani: miti, regole di galateo, codici di comportamento, visioni etiche e filosofiche, religione e molto altro ancora. Con il vino gli eroi di Omero pregano, danno ospitalità e siglano accordi; nella Grecia classica il vino è l'imprescindibile fulcro attorno al quale ruota il simposio, quella 'bevuta collettiva' in cui si rafforzano i vincoli d'amicizia, si intrecciano discorsi, si corteggiano ragazzi e cortigiane.

In ancient Greece, “no other practice was so universal than the consultation of oracles.” These holy sites were found in 260 locations around the Greek-speaking world.

Towards the middle of the third century BC, the Hellenistic kingdoms were near their peak. In terms of population, economy, and military power, each was vastly superior to Rome, not to mention in fields such as medicine, architecture, science, philosophy, and literature. But over the next two and a half centuries, Rome would eventually conquer these kingdoms while adopting so much of Hellenistic culture that the resultant hybrid is known as "Graeco-Roman." In Greece Against Rome, Philip Matyszak relates this epic tale from the Hellenistic perspective.

For nearly three thousand years, Helen of Troy has been both the embodiment of absolute female beauty and a reminder of the terrible power that it can wield. Held responsible for both the Trojan War and enduring the enmity between East and West, for millennia she has been viewed as an exquisite agent of extermination. But who was she really? Focusing on the 'real' Helen, bestselling historian Bettany Hughes reconstructs the true life for this elusive Green Bronze age princess and places her alongside the heroes and heroines of myth and history.

Che cos'è l'autorità nella Grecia antica? A lungo è stata negata la stessa esistenza di un termine greco che la definisca, e ci si è limitati a ricercare in quella cultura i sistemi di relazione sottesi al concetto romano di auctoritas. Prendendo le distanze da tale impostazione romano-centrica, l'autore individua le metafore culturali di cui i Greci si servono per elaborare la loro particolare nozione di auto rità, che non si presenta come qualità intrinseca dell'auctor, ma come "facoltà" concessa a qualcuno da una fonte esterna.

"La plus riche vie, que je sache, à être vécue entre les vivants (...) c'est, tout considéré, celle d'Alcibiade à mon gré". C'est par ces mots que Montaigne présente Alcibiade, personnage haut en couleurs, emblématique des guerres antiques. Elève de Socrate, doté d'un insolente beauté, réputé pour sa remarquable éloquence, il a été accusé d'être impliqué dans les scandales religieux de son époque. Soldat intrépide, stratège habile, audacieux, il a permis à Athènes de remporter quelques victoires éclatantes.

The life of Demetrius (337-283 BCE) serves as a through-line to the forty years following the death of Alexander (323-282 BCE), a time of unparalleled turbulence and instability in the ancient world. With no monarch able to take Alexander’s place, his empire fragmented into five pieces. Capitalizing on good looks, youth, and sexual prowess, Demetrius sought to weld those pieces together and recover the dream of a single world-state, with a new Alexander—himself—at its head.

This book, like the first of the series the Book of the Ancient World, was used in its original manuscript form by one of my history classes. It carries on the story of the way in which man has been learning how to live from the time of the coming of the Greeks to the loss of Greek independence in 146 BC. The spirit of a nation is expressed, and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature, and in its art.

What’s the big idea? To Socrates, living according to his values was more important than life itself. Plato’s Apology is in three parts: Socrates’ personal defense in his trial for impiety and corrupting the young, his plea before being sentenced, and his address to the jurors after he was condemned to death. This book includes an introduction, telling who Socrates was and how he came to be on trial for his life before his fellow Athenians.
