What the Greeks did for us / Tony Spawforth.
"How did the ancient Greeks spread their influence so far and wide? And how has their civilization changed us? Ever since their first Roman imitators, we have been continually falling under the Greeks' spell. Exploring our classical heritage in all realms of life, Tony Spawforth paints an essential portrait of the ancient world's living legacy -- whether in a word like 'pandemic', the Freudian theory of the Oedipus complex, or a replica of the Parthenon in a Chinese theme park." --back cover.
