Blurb: “GLORY THAT WAS GREECE
"To rejoice in life, to find the world beautiful and delightful to live in, was a mark of the Greek spirit...
In this brilliant book you will share this joy as you dine and talk with Socrates, hunt with Xenophon, listen to the orations of Pericles and join the audience at performances of the great dramas of Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus, and Aristophanes.
You will travel with Herodotus, the world's first sightseer, and learn of war and suffering from Thucydides. And most important, you will understand the Greeks' greatest achievement-the development of that perfect balance between spirit and mind which holds a vital meaning for the world today.
