This book is about much more than `the glory that was Greece'. In
this fresh appraisal, replacing the original Legacy of Greece
edited by Sir Richard Livingstone in 1921, fourteen distinguished
contributors, all specialists in their field, describe a particular
aspect of Greek culture, and then assess what later generations
have made of this valuable inheritance. The result is a lucid and
succinct introduction to how the ancient Greeks lived and thought,
and to their influence on the world we know today. The wide range
of topics covered includes politics, literature, history,
education, philosophy, science, myth, and art and architecture.
