Books about Roman Greek history, what are the famous books about Greek history

1, "Odyssey".

The Odyssey is a continuation of the storyline of Ilya Silver, which is said to have been written by the blind poet Homer.

The Odyssey has more than 12,000 lines and is also divided into 24 volumes.

The poet describes Odysseus' 10-year adventures at sea in flashbacks more than 40 days before he arrives home.

These 10 years of thrilling experience contain many ancient myths, reflecting natural phenomena that have been processed by fantasy and the struggle and triumph of the ancient Greeks against nature.

The story of Odysseus' victory over the giants Polyphemus, written in Book 9, stands out for his wit and bravery.

2. "The Iliad".

The Iliad is said to have been an epic poem written by the blind poet Homer (800-600 BC).

The Iliad is a 15,693-line poem divided into 24 volumes, and the main content of the poem is the story of the Greek expedition to the city of Troy.

Through its depiction of the Trojan War, it celebrates the heroes who fought bravely, defended the interests of the collective, and made meritorious contributions to the collective.

The Iliad is an important work of ancient Greek literature and one of the classics of the entire West.

3. "Homer's Epic".

According to legend, Homer's Epic is the collective name of the two epic poems written by the ancient Greek blind poet Shi Bo and Homer, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey", which were compiled by him based on the folk tanka.

Homer's epics, both epics are divided into 24 volumes.

Homer's epic poems, written in the six-syllable part of the Rising and Suppressing Cases, are the greatest works of ancient Greek oral literature, and are also the greatest works of Western literature.

Western scholars use it as a historical source to study society and Mycenaean civilization from the 11th to the 9th centuries BC.

Homer's epic poems are of great literary and artistic value, and they also offer a lot to later generations in terms of history, geography, archaeology, and folklore.

4. History of Greece

The History of Greece is based on the 1913 edition, which was revised by Bury himself during his lifetime.

Yan Shaoxiang, a professor of history at Capital Normal University and an expert on Greek history, wrote an introduction to the book and provided new research results and important works over the past decades, so that readers can have a further understanding of Greek history on the basis of the history.

With plain and fluent language, balanced and reasonable framework and solid and comprehensive historical materials, it has become the most popular textbook and introductory book on the general history of Greek history in the Western world, and has been selling well for many people, and is still a must-read classic in history classes in European and American universities.

5. "The Spirit of Greece".

The Greek Spirit is a book about ancient Greece published by Hamilton in 1930, with a strong subjective color, vivid and fluent speech, and has been highly praised by the academic community.

In it, she discusses the spirit, art, literature, religion, and the way of life of ancient Greece.

The book is divided into seventeen chapters, the first four of which analyze the differences between East and West and propose the unique existence of ancient Greece - the balance of reason and spirit; In the middle, the evolution of the Greek spirit is explained through the analysis of Pindar, Aristophanes, Thusilowe, Socrates and others; The last two chapters contrast the ways in which the ancient Greek and modern worlds are compared.

I was also fascinated by the history of ancient Rome, and I read the following books in turn:

r. h.Barrow: The Romans.

Caesar: Gallic Wars and Civil Wars.

Suvetonius: The Twelve Emperors of Rome.

Gibbon: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Richard Jenkyns: The Roman Legacy.

Shiono Nanayu: The Story of the Romans.

But let me choose now, I'll use this order:

r. h.Barrow: The Romans.

Shiono Nanayu: The Story of the Romans.

Caesar: Gallic Wars and Civil Wars.

Suvetonius: The Twelve Emperors of Rome.

Gibbon: History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

Richard Jenkyns: The Roman Legacy.

r. h.The Romans of Barrow is a great little primer that could be read in an afternoon.

Shiono's Tales of the Romans is a set of 15 books, but it is also the easiest to read, and the content is very rich and extensive, so it can be said that after reading this set of books, you will have a very detailed understanding of the politics, military, diplomacy, court life and culture of ancient Rome.

However, the author is not a professional scholar of Roman history, so there is a lot left out of it.

Caesar's and Gaul's Wars, Civil Wars, and the Twelve Emperors of Rome by Suvetonius are written by the ancients and are first-hand sources, but it is best to read other general histories (such as The Tales of the Romans) before reading them.

I also have Plutarch's Greco-Roman biography at hand, which is even more exciting (though I haven't finished reading it).

Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is a monumental work, I don't think it's suitable for beginners, and some of the narratives in it are not up-to-date (17th and 18th centuries).

Richard Jenkyns' The Legacy of the Horses is also a good book, but I recommend reading it after you have a thorough understanding of Roman history.

1. Greek history, reading Rome can not help but bend to Greece, most of the Roman culture is copied or borrowed from Greece, so the understanding of ancient Greece is very helpful to the study of Roman history.

2. Medieval history, contrast, because of Rome, the Middle Ages is called the Dark Ages.

3. Books on Roman military, law, ** and social organization.

Greek mythology is a spiritual product of primitive clan societies, the earliest literary form in Europe. Produced before the 8th century B.C., it formed a basic scale on the basis of the long-term oral transmission of the primitive people of Greece and borrowed from the myths of other countries that spread to Greece, and was later recorded in the "Homeric Epic" and Hesiod's "Theogony" and ancient Greek poetry, drama, history, philosophy and other works, and later generations organized them into the current ancient Greek mythological stories, which are divided into two parts: the story of the gods and the legend of heroes.
