To an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a 'classical Europe', using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures. As this consistently fresh and surprising new book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past filled with great leaders and writers, emigrations and battles. Indeed, much of the reason we know so much about the classical past is the obsessive importance it held for so many generations of Greeks and Romans, who interpreted and reinterpreted their changing casts of heroes and villains. Figures such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar loom large in our imaginations today, but they were themselves fascinated by what had preceded them. "The Birth of Classical Europe" is therefore both an authoritative history, and also a fascinating attempt to show how our own changing values and interests have shaped our feelings about an era which is by some measures very remote but by others startlingly close.

评分目前本卷的豆瓣评分很低,我想主要原因在于这一卷的开篇是以米诺斯与迈锡尼的遗迹发现来讲述欧洲文明的起源,故事性略微缺乏,很难入胜。但任何一个文明的开端都半遮半掩于神话与传说之中,本卷成功展示了如何从考古把信史与传说区分开来,并进一步通过文物获知当时的文化,艺...
评分这本书是企鹅欧洲史系列的第一本:The Birth of Classical Europe by Simon Price and Peter Thonemann,两位作者都是古希腊和罗马历史的专家 不过这不是一本一般意义上的历史,而更像是一部学术探讨的作品,书中没有按部就班的把欧洲文明的源头从头到尾讲一遍,而是根据几个重...
评分«企鹅欧洲史1:古典欧洲的诞生»从公元前1750年开始,至公元425年结束,横跨2000多年的希腊和罗马早期时代。然而,跨度如此大的历史,竟然只用区区400页的篇幅进行阐述,虽说这是一部简史,但鉴于该系列其他分册的厚度,不知作者采用如此精简的内容用意何在。如此少的篇幅...
