The Brilliance of Ancient Greek Civilization (Two-Volume Set)

Now in Greece, I passed the 2004 Athens Olympics. Ancient Greece was a magical, romantic, ancient and beautiful country that created many immortal works. After reading this book, I realized how splendid the ancient history of Greece was, which attracted me as deeply as the splendid history of our ancient China. Many amazing ruins in the book tell us that the level of civilization in ancient Greece was so high that it was even comparable to modern times. Up to now, the ancient Greek architectural style can still be seen in many buildings. This is the inheritance of civilization.

This book is great! Professor Zhao Lin is simply an expert on ancient Greek civilization! He took us through the mythology, art and philosophy of ancient Greece, and it was like stepping onto that mysterious land in person. I especially like the description of Socrates in the book, "I only know that I know nothing." This sentence really made me think deeply. However, I kind of hate that character who is always jealous of others, haha. In short, this book gave me a deeper understanding of ancient Greek civilization. I highly recommend it!

We often forget that there are living beings like us on the other side of the earth because we live in a small space. Every time we mention ancient civilizations, we can only think of China. While we feel honored to live in China, we must not forget to look at the world. When I read this book today, I discovered that ancient Greek civilization is also very attractive. In the book, the author introduces us to the mystery and beauty of ancient Greek civilization through the development of ancient Greek civilization, Aegean civilization, the origin of ancient Greek mythology, and Greek city-state society. It is good to read books on Western culture like this occasionally.

Professor Zhao Lin has studied Western learning for 40 years, conducted 10 field visits, and written a book like this, which tells the story of ancient Greek civilization as a representative of the ancient Greek city-state civilization, including Athens, Sparta, and the city-state of Pericles. These city-states have achieved outstanding achievements in politics, culture, art, science and other fields. Introduced congratulations to the outstanding philosophers and scientists of ancient Greece, such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc. Their ideas had a profound impact on Western philosophy, science and culture.

Westerners always refer to Greece. One of the important reasons is that many Western cultural forms are based on Greece. The famous British poet Shelley once said: "We are all Greeks, and our laws, literature, religion and art are all rooted in Greece." This shows from the side that the cultural form of Greece has had a profound influence on the West in later generations until today. The Western art, religion, literature, philosophy and even science that are now known to people can all find their roots in Greece.

Grand scene, fascinating
