Titres dans Grèce

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. For some, Greece is marble ruins and crested helmets. For others, whitewashed houses and the slow rhythm of island life. Between these two visions lies three thousand years of history — and a country still negotiating its past with its present. John...

Many who champion the idea of "Western Civilization" have only the loosest grasp of its history and of the Persian Wars, often portrayed as the heroic defense of "Western" values. Popular narratives frame these wars as East versus West, Greeks versus barbarians, with Greeks cast as defenders of...

The World’s First Superpower Has Been Misunderstood for 2,000 Years. Almost everything you think you know about the Persian Empire was written by its enemies. For centuries, Greek historians portrayed Persia as a decadent empire ruled by weak kings and endless luxury. But behind that story stood one of history’s most sophisticated political systems—a superpower whose ideas still shape civilization today. Long before Rome rose to dominance, the Persians built a vast empire spanning three continents.

H. A. Guerber, the legendary historian, once again brings us this classic audiobook about one of the most fascinating civilizations in the history of our wonderful world: the Greeks. He brings to life Greek history in a way few have ever managed to do. His passion was to get people excited about the rise of Athens and Sparta, and the legends of Hercules, Theseus, and the Trojan war. Plus, who wouldn’t be inspired by the courage of Leonidas at Thermopylae, the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the wisdom of the Great Socrates.

La Grecia che abbiamo imparato a conoscere e ad amare dall’epica, dalla tragedia, dalla storia è ricchissima di straordinarie figure di giovani uomini e giovani donne. Achille è l’eroe che a una vita lunga e incolore preferì la brevità di un’esistenza spezzata ma piena di gloria. Gli fa da contraltare il mite Telemaco: il figlio obbediente che vive nell’ombra di un padre mai conosciuto. E c’è Antigone, la vergine che, in un fragoroso assolo, osa levare la sua voce di dissenso. E Oreste, il figlio che uccide la madre per dare giustizia al padre. Fin qui il mito.

This panoramic book shows how the Greek Revolution was a demographic upheaval more consequential than the overthrow of a ruler. Drawing on Ottoman sources together with archival evidence from Greece, Britain, France, Russia, and Switzerland, the book reframes the birth of modern Greece within the imperial history of the global nineteenth century.

The Menexenus is a Socratic dialogue of Plato, traditionally included in the seventh tetralogy along with the Greater and Lesser Hippias and the Ion. The speakers are Socrates and Menexenus, who is not to be confused with Socrates' son Menexenus. The Menexenus of Plato's dialogue appears also in the Lysis, where he is identified as the "son of Demophon", as well as the Phaedo. The Menexenus consists mainly of a lengthy funeral oration, referencing the one given by Pericles in Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War.

Hace más de dos mil años, el estoicismo reveló una forma de vivir con menos sufrimiento y más felicidad. A pesar de que los antiguos estoicos vivieron hace mucho tiempo, tuvieron ideas sorprendentes sobre la condición humana que han perdurado hasta nuestros días. El estoicismo buscaba respuestas a preguntas como "¿cómo puedo ser más feliz?" o "¿cuál es el propósito de la vida?" y muchas más...

When dark smoke rises from stone temples, the followers of the cult of Dionysus pour each other deep red wine, ancient philosophers passionately discuss in the Athenian agora, and cheering shouts of victory ring out from Olympia in the distance - then you, dear readers, are nowhere else than in the multifaceted world of Greek antiquity. We hear a lot about ancient Greece; be it the huge world of gods that rules over the celestial sphere, strange myths that we still read and love today, or even personalities like that of Alexander the Great that trigger fascination and curiosity in us.

Cuando sale humo oscuro de los templos de piedra, los seguidores del culto a Dioniso se sirven vino tinto intenso, los antiguos filósofos discuten apasionadamente en el ágora ateniense y los gritos de victoria resuenan en Olimpia a lo lejos, entonces tú, querido lector, no te encuentras en ningún otro lugar que en el polifacético mundo de la antigüedad griega. Oímos hablar mucho de la antigua Grecia; ya sea del enorme mundo de dioses que gobierna la esfera celeste, de extraños mitos que aún hoy leemos y amamos, o incluso de personalidades como la de Alejandro Magno que desencadenan en nosotros fascinación y curiosidad.

¿Sabía usted que Alejandro Magno introdujo una vez la proskynesis en la corte macedonia? La proskynesis, el acto de besar el suelo o los pies de alguien de rango superior, era una costumbre habitual de los persas. En la corte del Imperio aqueménida, este acto se realizaba normalmente ante el rey. Tanto si eran nativos del país como si no, los súbditos tenían que postrarse ante el rey antes de poder pronunciar una palabra. A diferencia de los griegos y los macedonios, los persas solo practicaban la proskynesis cuando se comunicaban con sus antiguos dioses.

Cuando se publicó por primera vez en 1970, La mujer eunuco supuso un punto de inflexión en la defensa de los derechos de la mujer. La tesis sobre la que se sustenta es que la familia nuclear, consumista y urbana reprime a la mujer sexualmente y esta acaba por desvitalizarse y convertirse en eunuco. Por esta razón, advierte Greer, la auténtica liberación pasa por una liberación sexual. Casi cinco décadas más tarde, La mujer eunuco se ha convertido en un importante documento histórico y pone en relevancia todo el trabajo que queda por hacer.

O Banquete apresenta uma discussão entre alguns dos cérebros filósofos da antiguidade sobre o amo (Eros), com destaque para as sábias palavras de Sócrates.
