• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Beyond the marble ruins and silent statues, the voices of Ancient Greece are waiting.

History preserves their names, but silences their humanity. Echoes of Ancient Greece bridges that chasm, taking you on an unprecedented journey into the past through a series of meticulously researched and richly imagined encounters. This is not a record of what was said, but an exploration of what was felta work of disciplined imagination grounded in historical fact.

Step into a world where you can:

• Debate the price of democracy with
  
  Pericles on the rising Acropolis and the cost of empire with a world-weary
  
  Alexander the Great in the shadow of the Hindu Kush.
• Witness the tactical brilliance of Queen
  
  Artemisia as she navigates the treacherous currents of war and stand with
  
  Leonidas as he prepares his three hundred Spartans for their immortal sacrifice.
• Uncover the hidden levers of power with the formidable
  
  Aspasia in her Athenian salon and understand the pragmatic wisdom of Queen
  
  Gorgo in the stark barracks of Sparta.
• Challenge the nature of reality with
  
  Pythagoras and Aristotle , feel the weight of human tragedy with the master playwright
  
  Sophocles , and grasp the hard-won perspective of the fallen king
  
  Croesus.
• Hear the forbidden poetry of
  
  Sappho , unravel the cunning fables of
  
  Aesop , and learn the art of survival and quiet defiance from the slave
  
  Eumaeus.

More than a journey into the past, Echoes of Ancient Greece is an encounter with the foundations of our present. It doesn't just show you what the Greeks built and fought forit invites you to understand what they felt, feared, and questioned.

The past is not silent. You just have to know how to listen.
