Description: Hellas: A Short History Of Ancient Greece Written by C.E. Robinson Published 1955 Beacon Press From the foreword: In Greek History, someone has said, little that happened mattered much; it was what the Greeks thought that counted. This, broadly speaking, is the truth; and here I have tried to lay the main emphasis on Greek ideas, setting them against the background of historic events. Obviously the best clue to their understanding is to be found in what the Greeks themselves wrote; and, though no English version can be an adequate substitute, I have given in translation whatever passages appear to me most revealing. With these it has been my object to convey effectively the author’s meaning rather than slavishly to reproduce his phraseology; and I have taken, I confess, some liberty with the task, abbreviating by frequent omissions of words, clauses and even whole sentences, occasionally elaborating to bring out the full sense, and above all recasting the original syntactic construction in approximation to our own modern idiom. In the illustrations, similarly, I have here and there allowed myself the licence of reconstruction when details have suffered through accident or age. Book is in acceptable vintage condition! Some yellowing of pages and the cover is creased. There are two places inside (pages 34-35 and 76-77) which were long ago marked with newsprint which has caused some yellowing. I have left the newsprint book markers in place to confirm what made those marks. Sold as-is and shipped from the United States.
