About This Novel
It presents the 2,500-year development history of ancient Greek civilization in a panoramic manner, salvages the glorious and mysterious fragments of ancient Greek civilization in detail, and interprets the enlightenment of the rise and fall of ancient Greek civilization. "The Origin of Greece": For a long time, ancient Greek civilization was full of poetic magnificence and mystery, just like Athena emerging from the head of Zeus fully armed. But with the emergence of the remains of the Cretan and Mycenaean civilizations, the origin of this ancient Western culture has truly become traceable. This book restores the historical clues of ancient Greek civilization from the Bronze Age to the Archaic Period. "Classical Greece": The principles of classical aesthetics, logic and rational thinking, the social ethics of living together and resolving conflicts, the concept of equality before the law, the ideological basis of democracy and participatory politics, the methods and principles of individualism, humanism, and science. These ideas that laid the foundation for Western and even world culture, politics, and other fields were all formed in the classical Greek period. Even today, when new technologies are in full swing, Europeans are still Greek at heart. "The Fall of Athens": This book uses rich and reliable historical materials to vividly reproduce the struggle and replacement of Greek hegemony in the late classical era, especially the Peloponnesian War and the chaos and collapse it brought about. The defeat of Athens directly led to the decline of the city-state system and ancient Greek civilization from its peak. "Alexander's Empire": Through the development, changes and power changes during the Alexander Empire and the Hellenistic Kingdom, this book details, richly and clearly presents the historical rise and fall of the world-wide empire across Europe, Asia and Africa at that time, and how the rich, turbulent and dramatic era was influenced by those great figures who ended in tragedy. At the same time, Alexander's expedition not only established a vast empire around the world, but also spread Greek culture to the conquered areas, profoundly changing the style of the ancient world and Greece in the classical period, and causing Greek culture to experience a new golden stage.
