Greeks

"My Greeks were neither sophisticated layabouts nor pious fatalists, and least of all were they portentous gurus brooding over the lost Secrets of the Ancients. They were a resilient, sceptical, cheeky people, whose distinctive contribution to our history was to combine a readiness to ask 'Why?' and 'Why not?' with a conviction that only sane, reasoned and clearly expounded answers to those questions were worth listening to." In this book, Kenneth Dover introduces the people and culture of ancient Greece.Dover, Kenneth is the author of 'Greeks' with ISBN 9780292727243 and ISBN 0292727240.
