Présentation de l'éditeur
Mahapty. An I rish scholar. Bom at Chapponnaire, Switzer Umdi February 26, 1839. Professor of History in the University of Dublin. Author of Social Life in Greece, Rambles and Studies in Greece, Greek Life and Thought, Greece under Roman Sway, History of Greek Classical Literature, The Empire of the Ptolemies. No other writer of modem times is so thoroughly conversant with the life, thought, and conditions of A ndent Greece, and none has portrayed them in literature more lucidly and entertainingly. (F rom Gassz Lm and Tbought )ALEXANDER THE GREAT These was no king throughout all the Eastern world in the third century B.C. who did not set before him Alexander as the ideal of what a monarch ought to be. His transcendent figure so dominates the imagination of his own and the following age, that from studying his character we can draw all the materials for the present chapter. For this purpose the brilliant sketch of Plutarch, who explicitly professes to write the life and not the history of the king, is on the whole more instructive than the detailed chronicle of A rrian. From both we draw much that is doubtful and even fabulous, but much also which is certain and of unparalleled interest, as giving us a picture of the most extraordinary man that ever lived.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of discoveries about ancient Greece by the renowned scholar John Pentland Mahaffy. Mahaffy synthesizes perspectives from Greek literature, history, and archaeology to provide the reader with a more holistic understanding of Greek civilization. The author's nuanced approach provides both a sweeping overview of the major domains of ancient Greek life and a meticulous examination of its cultural and political developments. This book refrains from the panegyrics common during the nineteenth century by presenting an even-handed assessment of the Greeks' strengths and weaknesses, revealing their profound influence upon Western civilization and their ongoing relevance for readers today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243300082_0
