Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book gathers evidence suggesting that in ancient times, Greeks and Romans considered their elite statesmen and military leaders to be of a superior breed. This book explores a surprising area of convergence in their cultures by studying the ancient sources that describe the 'heroic' and 'divine' aspects of the citizen soldier. The author examines Greek and Roman literature and illustrations, from Homeric epics to Roman political propaganda, to trace how ancient Mediterranean cultures imagined the lives and bodies of these elite men as occupying a special place in the cosmos and as surpassing their peers with physical, moral, and intellectual prowess. This book will be of interest to scholars of classics, ancient history, and the history of the body. It will also appeal to general readers interested in the origins of our modern ideas about leadership and the heroic ideal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
