Synopsis
A learned professor once compared the thinking of the ancient Greeks to a popular brand of beer. "When you're out of Greek philosophy," he declared, "you're out of philosophy." Having The Wisdom of the Ancient Greeks close at hand, you'll never run out of the insights that have inspired poets, warriors, scientists, philosophers, theologians, artists, and ordinary people for more than 3,000 years.
From practical advice on everyday problems to profound answers to deep moral questions, these sayings, proverbs, and maxims address every aspect of the human experience—anger and fear, good and evil, truth, prayer, hope, aging, love and passion, fidelity, friendship, gossip, pain and sorrow, self-knowledge, war and peace, public speaking, democracy, and more.
With The Wisdom of the Ancient Greeks, you don't need a library full of classics to discover the essence of Aristotle's thoughts on leadership, flattery, and courage; Plato's musings on virtue, death, and the soul; or Euripides's comments on justice, fate, and failure. It's all here. Eureka!
