Moses Hadas – författare

Carefully surveys the Greek literary experience of fifteen hundred years.

A discussion of Latin literature and its form with emphasis on its influence on European education.

Originally published in the UK in 1961 this was an unconventional book when first published but a powerful interpretation of Greek individualism. The author examines the influence of the Greeks on European philosophy, religion, literature, art and architecture and challenges many commonly held assumptions: ‘Those items in the Greek legacy which are most easily recognizable as such are in fact the least important.’
