History of World Civilizations: Greek Life

About This Novel

This book describes the glorious but turbulent life of ancient Greece, the origin, growth, maturity and decline of Greek civilization, the subtle but not man-made ups and downs of its complex cultural rise and fall, and the changes in its basic factors. In Western culture, except for machinery, there is almost no modern thing that is not handed down from Greece. However, despite their repeated efforts, the Greeks failed to achieve integrity, unity and peace in their politics. They even fell into the chaos of civil war and class antagonism. They lost their land and destroyed the morale of the people. They finally surrendered to Eastern dictatorship, quietism and mysticism. In the end, they almost took the initiative to welcome the conquering Romans. Through the Romans, the dying ancient Greece passed its science, philosophy, literature, and art to Europeans, becoming the vivid cultural cornerstone of our modern world.
