Athens In The Time Of Pericles, And Rome In The Time Of Augustus, An Essay By W.R.Churton - Softcover
Synopsis
Athens In The Time Of Pericles, And Rome In The Time Of Augustus, An Essay By W.R.Churton by William Ralph Churton. This work compares the two ancient civilizations at their height, asking how manners, knowledge, and the arts defined their achievements. Churton first surveys Athens during the Periclean era, where public life, eloquence, philosophy, drama, and education fuse to form a vigorous intellectual culture. He then contrasts Rome under Augustus, noting a shift toward legalism, imperial administration, and a different flowering of letters and visual arts, shaped by power and prosperity. He outlines three ages of knowledge—useful, governing, and elegant knowledge—and shows how each society advanced through these stages in distinct ways. The essay traces education, language, literature, oratory, poetry, sculpture, painting, and music, arguing that Athens excelled in liberal arts while Rome excelled in civil organization and practical wisdom. It concludes with reflections on how these worlds prepared later civilization and the universal spread of learning.
