Sinopsis
Excerpt from Greek and Roman Civilization: With an Introduction to the Source Study Method
We note in the second place that history is the science of the evolution of man. History is no longer a simple teller of stories; the muse has set herself a sterner task. We are conscious that the society of to-day differs from the society of one thousand years ago. An evolution has taken place, and it is the work of the historian to trace this evolution through all its phases. It should be noted further, that it is not simply the evolution of the American, nor of the English man, but the evolution of all men. This idea is too new to be fully realized, but in the period of African, Chinese, and Japanese wars, it should be evident to the most superficial observer that history, universal history, has for its theater the whole globe and for its actors all mankind.

Excerpt from Greek and Roman Civilization: With an Introduction to the Source Study Method
The pedagogy of the last half of the nineteenth century differs both in matter and in method from that of the first half. Our age is scientific above all things, and this spirit has permeated, one by one, all branches of instruction. The change in matter has consisted in a revolt against the claims of the classics to a monopoly of all knowledge and all discipline. The revolt was successful and the classics were relegated to their proper place in the new curriculum. Henceforth they are to form a part and not the whole of education. Through the breach thus made new studies entered demanding their share of attention. In truth, some of them demanded more than their share, and for a time, under the influence of the reactionary spirit, the movement threatened to go too far in the opposite direction and to abandon the classics entirely.
Rut the new matter was not more important than the new method. With the sciences came the scientific spirit and the laboratory method. The old method, or lack of method, presided at the birth of the new studies, but the textbook recitation was at first supplemented by experiments performed before the class, and at last by experiments performed by the class, and the change was complete.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Greece, specifically focusing on the Homeric Age, a period shrouded in myth and legend. The author meticulously examines the Iliad, not as a factual account of the Trojan War, but as a window into the social, political, and religious landscape of the time. Through a detailed analysis of the epic poem, we gain insights into the hierarchical structure of Homeric society, where kings ruled with divine authority and councils of elders provided guidance. The author explores the complex relationship between mortals and the Olympian gods, highlighting the role of rituals, sacrifices, and oracles in shaping daily life and warfare. Vivid descriptions of battles and heroic deeds transport us to a world where honor and glory were paramount. This book challenges traditional interpretations of the Homeric Age and sheds light on the cultural norms and values that defined this pivotal era in Greek history. By exploring the connections between literature, archaeology, and historical records, the author offers a nuanced understanding of a society on the cusp of transformation. The insights gleaned from this exploration provide a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of the Homeric Age and its profound influence on Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
