Krátky popis
How the modern world has understood the ancient Greeks and why they
matter todayThe study of ancient Greek history has been central to
the western conception of history since the Renaissance. The Muse
of History traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in
the last three centuries, in which each generation has
reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary world,
through times of revolution, conflicting ideologies and warfare. It
aims to offer a new history of Greek historiography from the
Enlightenment to the present, and to acknowledge the continuing
spiritual importance of the ancient Greeks for European culture in
the twentieth century under totalitarian persecutions.Through the
study of different historians, many of them unjustly forgotten, it
shows the problematic nature of the Anglo-Saxon tradition and the
importance of ideas from the continent of Europe, the ambiguities
of democracy, and the impossibility of understanding the past or
the present outside our common European heritage. It ends by
offering suggestions for the future of the study of the Greeks in
the context of world history.
