المدينة الإغريقية Quotes

“A town, a single town, and often small, and yet it was for this that Hector courted death, for this that the Spartan considered it the crown of “virtue” to “fall in the first ranks”, for this that the heroes of Salamis hurled themselves aboard the enemy ships with triumphal songs, and Socrates drank the hemlock in his reverence for the law.”
― Gustave Glotz, Greek City and Its Institutions
