Download The Life of Greece: The Story of Civilization, Volume 2 AudioBook Free

The second volume of Will Durant's Pulitzer Prize - receiving series THE STORYPLOT of Civilization. Size 2 chronicles the history of ancient greek language civilization. Here Durant says the whole history of Greece from the days of Crete's huge Aegean empire to the final extirpation of the previous remnants of Greek liberty, smashed under the heel of an implacably forward-marching Rome. The dried out minutiae of fights and sieges, of tortuous statecraft of tyrant and king, get modest emphasis in what's preeminently a brilliant recreation of Greek culture, brought to the listener through the medium of supple, strenuous prose. In this masterful work, listeners will find out about:

• The siege of Troy
• The great city-states of Athens and Sparta
• The heroes of Homer's epics
• The gods and reduced deities of Mount Olympus
• The teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle
• The empire of Alexander the fantastic
