Professors often write about Athens being the cradle of justice and democracy, about its embellishment, the magnificent temples, public buildings, exquisite pottery, and the drama, literature, rhetoric, and philosophy that flourished in Classical Greece. But rare are the commentaries on the spirit of the Golden Greeks. In his funeral oration, Pericles says:
“I wish to speak about the spirit in which we, Greeks, faced battles, our constitution and manners with which we rose to greatness.”
Professor Guerrero’s book has no footnotes, indexes, or scholarly jargon. It is for the soul-searching, self-taught, self-made individuals who crave to educate themselves.
