Story0
When the Spartans' famous stand at the Battle of Thermopylae ended during the Second Persian War, the Athenian fleet was forced to fall back, and Xerxes' massive Persian army marched into Greece before advancing on Athens. The Greek armies were scattered and unable to face the might of Persia, so Athens was forced to evacuate the entire population of the city to Salamis, from where the Athenians watched in horror as Xerxes' troops plundered the defenseless city, set it aflame, and razed the Acropolis.

Story1
This book contains the daily life, culture, training, battles, history, and kings of the Spartan Empire. From the birth of their city to the end, the Spartans endured a history of violence and war. Similar to their stories, the traditional Spartan warrior also lived the daily life of a soldier. From the moment they were born and if they were allowed to live, they were trained and conditioned to be some of the most efficient and lethal killing machines. Dominating the land through some of the most famous battles of all time, the Spartans were a force to be reckoned with.

¿Por qué corremos? Todo el esfuerzo y el dolor, ¿con qué fin? ¿A qué obedece este amor por la tonificación muscular, la velocidad y el sudor? Los deportistas de la Grecia clásica fueron los primeros en plantearse estas preguntas, los primeros en suspender la guerra, el trabajo o la política para disfrutar de celebraciones públicas de las proezas atléticas, como en los célebres Juegos Olímpicos. Inventaron el deporte y también fueron los primeros en comprender cómo la actividad física se relaciona con nuestro bienestar mental.

In virtually all fields of human endeavor, Classical Athens was so much at the forefront of dynamism and innovation that the products of its most brilliant minds remain not only influential but still relevant to this day. To the ancient Greeks, the cosmos was ordered and harmonious. Consequently, reason and intellect were considered the architects of all art and craftsmanship. The absolute perfection of form was sought in everything and the Greek passion for simplicity, elegance, harmony, and beauty is to be found everywhere, particularly in architecture.

Herodotus was the world’s first known performance artists. He didn’t write his Histories to be read but to be told. He sat in agoras throughout the Hellenic world and enacted his stories for drachmas. He explained that the conflict between the East and West all started because of the rape and kidnap of Io, Europa, and Medea. You can throw in Helen if you wish but on this point Herodotus dissed Homer. According to the Father of Western History, Helen was never in Troy!

Story0
As the celebrated political philosopher Patrick Deneen explains in this eye-opening book, the Odyssey is also the most American of ancient texts. Like Odysseus, Americans have two fundamental impulses: we are a people simultaneously animated by commitments to being at home and leaving home. Deneen shows us that the deep ambivalence at the heart of the Odyssey is also our own—as some of our greatest books and films attest, from Huckleberry Finn to The Wizard of Oz to Field of Dreams.
