À propos de cet audio

The second volume of Will Durant's Pulitzer Prize - winning series The Story of Civilization. Volume 2 chronicles the history of ancient Greek civilization. Here Durant tells the whole story of Greece from the days of Crete's vast Aegean empire to the final extirpation of the last remnants of Greek liberty, crushed under the heel of an implacably forward-marching Rome. The dry minutiae of battles and sieges, of tortuous statecraft of tyrant and king, get minor emphasis in what is preeminently a vivid recreation of Greek culture, brought to the listener through the medium of supple, vigorous prose.

In this masterful work, listeners will learn about:

  • The siege of Troy
  • The great city-states of Athens and Sparta
  • The heroes of Homer's epics
  • The gods and lesser deities of Mount Olympus
  • The teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
  • The empire of Alexander the Great

This volume is vast and touches on almost everything relating to Ancient Greece from the rise of Hellenic culture to its dissemination as the ultimate foundation of Western Civilization. It is a fantastic resource to use for further study of the various events and individuals that forged our world as we know it.

A great primer for deeper investigation

Wow! that was a lot more information than I expected (33 hours worth) but it was well read and so very interesting!! I recently returned from a trip to Athens which peaked my interest and this book really puts the Greek culture and contributions into perspective!!

No one who enjoys history should be without this book!
