This book is written in an engaging style and covers the key aspects of these great civilisations in a single volume, bravo! The author focuses his analysis on the historical developments with 3 themes: freedom, luxury & justice. Very insightful on how approaches and attitudes to these cultural aspects change over time especially in Greek democracy, Roman Republic and then Empire. Anyone looking to see the forest rather than the tress this is a worthwhile resource to enjoy. ( )

History books are not my usual reading material, but I managed to stay awake through this one and found it enjoyable and informative. ( )

The first book I read before I delved into Graeco-Roman history and serves as an excellent introduction to the latter, as well as being good for reference. ( )

Il mondo classico fa parte del nostro dna, lo abbiamo conosciuto da ragazzi sui banchi di scuola, lo abbiamo vissuto nelle letture giovanili, ce lo ritroviamo nella nostra storia, nel nostro modo di essere. E la lettura di questo ottimo libro di Robin Lane Fox, uno storico inglese, è perfetta per sollecitare i neuroni della memoria, della curiosità, della voglia di approfondire. Un viaggio lungo, molto lungo, che parte da Omero, tra il 1200 e l’800 A.C. e si conclude con Adriano. Almeno 900 anni in cui si formano i germi della cultura occidentale che porterà un uomo a scrivere la divina commedia ed un altro uomo a mettere piede sulla luna. E’ così, tutto nasce in Grecia, tutto nasce da Omero, dalla guerra di Sparta e da un uomo chiamato Ulisse, dai filosofi, dalla democrazia ateniese, dalla Magna Graecia che ha innervato la successiva grandezza di Roma, il concetto di lusso, come gratificazione e ristoro dei drammi della vita, raccontati da Eschilo, Sofocle ed Euripide, raccontati da Tucidide, Erodoto, Plinio e Tacito, tra gli altri; le arringhe di Cicerone non ci sarebbero state se non ci fosse stato Socrate, ma senza di loro non ci sarebbe stato Machiavelli. Un bel libro che dà lustro alla storia, alla nostra storia. ( )

I bought this because I wanted to get a basic understanding of classical history, and it did the job extremely well. Organised in chronological order, it begins with life in the 8th century BC, seen through the themes of Homer's epic poetry, and charges confidently through the great age of Athens, the Roman republic, Julius Caesar and up to the first century AD (finishing round about the time of the eruption at Pompeii in 79 AD). Lane Fox is one of the most popular classical scholars around, and he writes clearly and simply. I suppose you might say that it's an example of traditional 'great men' history, but it also deals with economic and social trends. Besides, as a newcomer to the subject it makes sense to learn about the most famous figures and their contexts first. I'm sure there are many books to help you pick up the detail and the academic debate at a later point. This is a brilliant way in. ( )

He found his father alone in his well-ordered orchard
Digging round a plant: he was wearing a dirty tunic,
Patched and unseemly, and round his shins he had bound
Sew leather leg-guards, keeping off scratches,
And he had gloves on his hands because of the thorns.
On his head he wore a goatskin cap, increasing his air of sorrow.
When noble, enduring Odysseus saw him
Worn by old age and with such great sadness in his heart,
He stood beneath a tall pear-tree and shed tears . . .


Odysseus returns to his father: Homer, Odyssey 24, 226 - 34
This tomb of well-sculpted metal
Covers the dad body of a great hero,
Zenodotus. But his soul is in heaven, where Orpheus is,
Where Plato is, and has found a holy seat, fit to receive a god.
For, he was a valiant cavalryman in the Emperor's service,
Famous, eloquent, god-like. In his speech
He was a copy of Socrates among the Italian people.
Leaving to his children his sound ancestral fortune,
He has died, a fit old man, leaving boundless sorrow
To his well-born friends, his city and its citizens.

The 'classical world' is the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans, some forty lifetimes before our own but still able to challenge us by a humanity shared with ours.
