Overview

Homer, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Polybius, Plutarch. Greek was the language of the Western world’s first advanced civilization. The language introduced the West to mathematics, astronomy, drama, and poetry on a massive scale. And even today, most of Western philosophy is perhaps still just “a series of footnotes to Plato.” Craufurd Tait Ramage distills the knowledge of the forefathers of Western culture into one volume, collecting their most distinct thoughts from where they are most succinctly expressed.
