Krátky popis
An enjoyable, accessible exploration of the legacy of ancient
Greece today, across our daily lives and all forms of popular
culture &,nbsp, Our contemporary world is inescapably Greek.
Whether in a word like “pandemic,” a Freudian state of mind like
the “Oedipus complex,” or a replica of the Parthenon in a Chinese
theme park, ancient Greek culture shapes the contours of our lives.
Ever since the first Roman imitators, we have been continually
falling under the Greeks’ spell.&,nbsp, But how did ancient
Greece spread its influence so far and wide? And how has this
influence changed us? &,nbsp, Tony Spawforth explores our
classical heritage, wherever it’s to be found. He reveals its
legacy in everything from religion to popular culture, and unearths
the darker side of Greek influence—from the Nazis’ obsession with
Spartan “racial purity” to the elitism of classical education.
Paying attention to the huge breadth and variety of Hellenic
influence, this book paints an essential portrait of the ancient
world’s living legacy—considering to whom it matters, and why.
