Download Classics: A Very Short Introduction AudioBook Free
This Very Brief Launch to classics links a haunting temple over a depressed mountainside to the glory of ancient Greece and the grandeur of Rome, and also to Classics within modern culture - from Jefferson and Byron to Asterix and Ben-Hur. We all have been Classicists - we come into touch with the Classics daily: in our culture, politics, remedies, architecture, vocabulary, and literature. What exactly are the true origins of these influences, however, and just how do our interpretations of the areas of the Classics change from their original reception? This benefits to the Classics commences with a trip to the United kingdom Museum to see the frieze which once decorated the Apollo Temple at Bassae. Through these sculptures, John Henderson and Mary Beard prompt us to consider the importance of Classics as a way of discovery and enquiry, its value in terms of literature, philposophy, and culture, and its own importance as a way to obtain imagery.
