Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives and contributions of prominent figures in Greek, Roman, and English history. Beginning with the ancient Greek philosopher Homer, the author explores the literary and historical significance of epic poems like the Iliad and the Odyssey. From there, the narrative moves to the life and military campaigns of Alexander the Great, highlighting his strategies and conquests. The book explores the oratory of Demosthenes and his efforts to rally the Athenians against Philip of Macedon, before moving on to Cicero, the famed Roman orator and statesman who played a key role in the downfall of the Roman Republic. The narrative continues with Plato and Aristotle, two of the greatest philosophers of antiquity, and their influential ideas that shaped Western thought. Readers will also discover the lives and writings of historians like Herodotus, Thucydides, and Livy, whose works provide invaluable insights into ancient civilizations. The book concludes with the story of Alfred the Great, the ninth-century king of Wessex, who defended his kingdom against Viking invasions and is credited with establishing the foundations of the English monarchy. Through a comprehensive examination of these historical figures, this book sheds light on the major themes of leadership, politics, war, philosophy, and culture in the ancient world.
