Contrasting the Greeks' pursuit of beauty, strength, and intellectual clarity with the values of other ancient societies, Hamilton illustrates how their ideals shaped notions of humanity and freedom. She examines the works of Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Euripides, Homer, Plato, and Sophocles, among others. With the Greek emphasis on reason, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding; their passion for beauty; and their unique aesthetic emphasizing harmony, balance, and the idealization of the human form, Edith Hamilton reminds us, \"The spirit of the West, the modern spirit, is a Greek discovery; and the place of the Greeks is in the modern world.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hamilton, Edith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2026-01-13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e History \/ Europe \/ Greece (see also Ancient - Greece)|History \/ Ancient \/ Greece|History \/ Civilization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486855387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486855387\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52372790804761,"sku":"SP-9780486855387","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780486855387_spiral.png?v=1778449855","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/the-greek-way","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
