Vous trouverez dans ce livre audio 24 chapitres et un personnage par chapitre, pour raconter chacune des 24 heures d'une journée à Athènes en 416 av. J.-C., lors d'une pause dans la guerre du Péloponnèse. En ce temps-là se trouvaient réunies dans la cité plusieurs grandes figures du monde grec, dont Alcibiade, Aristophane, Sophocle, Euripide, Hippocrate, Platon et bien sûr Socrate. Mais l'historien britannique Philip Matyszak n'oublie pas les Athéniens ordinaires, qui ont contribué eux aussi à forger une civilisation dont nous sommes les héritiers.

To many in the ancient world, their gods and goddesses were all around them and could be seen daily in nature, which meant that nearly every kind of animal, both domestic and wild, was associated with a god or goddess. In places like Egypt and Greece, deities and other mythological characters were often depicted with human bodies and animal heads, and various Greek religious rituals relied on sacrificing animals. Animals were constantly involved in the core elements of Greek society and cults.

More than 2,000 years ago, the Greek city-states, led by Athens and Sparta, laid the foundation for much of modern science, the arts, politics, and law. But the influence of the Greeks did not end with the rise and fall of this classical civilization. As historian Roderick Beaton illustrates, over three millennia Greek speakers produced a series of civilizations that were rooted in southeastern Europe but again and again ranged widely across the globe.

Many people know about the glories of ancient Greece: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the sculptures, the writings of Homer, and the adventures of Achilles and Jason and the Argonauts. They know about the Greek gods and goddesses, of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and many others. Even the term “Trojan Horse", named after the trick that the Greeks played on the inhabitants of Troy, has made it into our language. Ancient Greece gave us philosophy, math, medicine, the roots of many languages, and so much more.

Classical Greece is a period of only 200 years, but it is filled with exciting events that shaped the political thought of modern Western civilization. In these 200 years, the idea of democracy was born and developed, although their concept of democracy was much different than in modern times. Through the development of the polis, the ancient Greek society developed into its recognizable form of those with political rights and those without them.

According to the Greeks, there were many gods and goddesses in ancient Greece. These gods had control over many aspects of life on Earth. They were, in many respects, quite human. They could be friendly or nasty, enraged or happy, harsh or loving. They fell in love with one another, fought with one another, and even stole from one another.

Ancient Greece and its mythology is truly a marvel of history...one that has stood the test of time. Greek myths were more than just stories and epic tales. Take a deeper look, and you will uncover the lessons, philosophies, wisdom, and even warnings that these myths taught. In truth, they are still relevant to this day.

The Armenians were a crucial part of the army of Alexander the Great following him to the ends of the known world at that time.

Are pandemics something new? How on Earth did ancient empires and their citizens react to them? Is there a way to protect ourselves both mentally and physically against them? How do pandemics affect our social metal and religious behavior? The most objective historian of all time, Thucydides gives the answer to all these problems by describing the symptoms and the effects of the pandemic in the Ancient Athens Empire (he was also ill from the plague and got over it!).

As we explore the ancient deities from Greece (also copied and somewhat altered by the Romans), we can find many fascinating stories and dramatic characteristics in them. Aside from looking at gods like Mercury and Hades, we will also look at stories that involve Eros (or Cupid), Psyche (the origin of a lot of our words in the dictionary), and the infamous and seductive nymphs and satyrs.

The classical world was full of many great and influential cities, ranging from Rome and Alexandria to Athens and Sparta. There were many more that enjoyed periods of prominence, yet they were often ephemeral, seeing their fortunes rise and fall due to their connection to a ruling dynasty. Smyrna was one of the various cities that enjoyed brief yet important periods of influence in which they spawned important dynasties, were the scenes of history-changing battles, and were the sites of great advances in philosophy, science, and economics.
