    <body><![CDATA[Edith Hamilton's prose reads like a disjointed and stilted school-boy translation of ancient greek.  Plus, she's a snob and a hyperbolist.

    <![CDATA[&quot;Based on a thorough study of Greek life &amp; civilization, of Greek literature, philosophy &amp; art, The Greek Way interprets their meaning &amp; brings a realization of the refuge &amp; strength the past can be to us in the troubled present. Hamilton's book must take its place with the few interpretative volumes which are permanently rooted &amp; profoundly alive in our literature. 'This is a book of both cultural &amp; critical importance,' says The New York Times. 'In the masterly exposition &amp; deep understanding of the contrast between the Greek &amp; the modern conception of life, we are brought to fresh appraisals of our own intellectual activities. Her pages are a pleasure to follow. Altogether a notable book.'&quot;<br/><br/>CONTENTS:<br/>Preface<br/>East &amp; West<br/>Mind &amp; Spirit<br/>The Way of the East &amp; the West in Art The Greek Way of Writing<br/>Pindar, the Last Greek Aristocrat<br/>The Athenians as Plato Saw Them Aristophanes &amp; the Old Comedy Herodotus, the 1st Sight-Seer Thucydides, the Thing That Hath Been is That Which Shall Be<br/>Xenophon, Ordinary Athenian Gentleman The Idea of Tragedy<br/>Aeschylus, the 1st Dramatist Sophocles, Quintessence of the Greek Euripides, the Modern Mind<br/>The Religion of the Greeks<br/>The Way of the Greeks<br/>The Way of the Modern World]]>
