The Legacy of Greece gathers essays by some of the most distinguished classical scholars of the early twentieth century — Gilbert Murray, W. R. Inge, J. Burnet, A. E. Zimmern, Arnold Toynbee, and others — each examining a dimension of Greece’s lasting contribution to Western civilisation: philosophy, science, literature, mathematics, medicine, and art. Together the essays offer a panoramic assessment of what antiquity bequeathed to modernity.
This free EPUB edition is ideal for students and general readers seeking an authoritative introduction to the breadth of Greek cultural influence. Each essay stands alone, making this a rich anthology to dip into as well as to read straight through.
