The world examined by the ancient Greek philosophers and poets was distinctly different from our own. And that context, the author argues, has been missing from later evaluations of their work. Here is the Greek view of life in the classical age—perspectives on the state, the individual, religion, and art—as seen by writers such as Aristotle, Euripides, Homer, Plato, and Sophocles, among many others.
