1、有一种错误的观点,将地中海的非希腊民族,例如腓尼基人,看作是“等着有趣的、希腊的事物到来的民族”,这只是因为腓尼基人没有留下他们的记录和文字,人类的记忆并不是那么可靠。另一个佐证,就是为了将现代希腊和古典希腊联系起来,19世纪的希腊人粗暴的抹去了期间两千年...
评分 评分导读 “古典”是对英文classical一词的中译,这个词与文艺复兴以来西方形成的一门新学科的名称Classics(古典学)同出自拉丁文形容词classicus,原义主要指罗马高级别的公民,如“头等公民的”之类,引申义则意味出类拔萃、完美无缺、权威和典型。近现代西方人又把古希腊罗马时...
评分 评分首先,本书的前半部分讲述的是地中海以及欧洲希腊化的过程,涉及到诸民族的迁徙和演化的过程,然而书中却没有地图,所以在看的过程中需要不时地去查地图找资料。 其次,作者一直试图以神话传说与历史相结合的方式进行史、遗迹的考证,虽然这种考证的观点和想法挺新颖的,但整书...

To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a 'classical Europe', using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past filled with great leaders and writers, emigrations and battles. Indeed, much of the reason we know so much about the classical past is the obsessive importance it held for so many generations of Greeks and Romans, who interpreted and reinterpreted their changing casts of heroes and villains. Figures such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar loom large in our imaginations today, but they were themselves fascinated by what had preceded them. "The Birth of Classical Europe" is therefore both an authoritative history, and also a fascinating attempt to show how our own changing values and interests have shaped our feelings about an era which is by some measures very remote but by others startlingly close.
