Greek and Roman Civilization: With an Introduction to the Source Study Method (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from Greek and Roman Civilization: With an Introduction to the Source Study Method
We note in the second place that history is the science of the evolution of man. History is no longer a simple teller of stories; the muse has set herself a sterner task. We are conscious that the society of to-day differs from the society of one thousand years ago. An evolution has taken place, and it is the work of the historian to trace this evolution through all its phases. It should be noted further, that it is not simply the evolution of the American, nor of the English man, but the evolution of all men. This idea is too new to be fully realized, but in the period of African, Chinese, and Japanese wars, it should be evident to the most superficial observer that history, universal history, has for its theater the whole globe and for its actors all mankind.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Greece, specifically focusing on the Homeric Age, a period shrouded in myth and legend. The author meticulously examines the Iliad, not as a factual account of the Trojan War, but as a window into the social, political, and religious landscape of the time. Through a detailed analysis of the epic poem, we gain insights into the hierarchical structure of Homeric society, where kings ruled with divine authority and councils of elders provided guidance. The author explores the complex relationship between mortals and the Olympian gods, highlighting the role of rituals, sacrifices, and oracles in shaping daily life and warfare. Vivid descriptions of battles and heroic deeds transport us to a world where honor and glory were paramount. This book challenges traditional interpretations of the Homeric Age and sheds light on the cultural norms and values that defined this pivotal era in Greek history. By exploring the connections between literature, archaeology, and historical records, the author offers a nuanced understanding of a society on the cusp of transformation. The insights gleaned from this exploration provide a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of the Homeric Age and its profound influence on Western civilization.
