书籍简介

对当今古希腊的遗产，在我们的日常生活和所有形式的流行文化中，我们当代世界不可避免地是希腊人的愉快，可访问的探索。无论是在“大流行”之类的词中，像“俄狄浦斯建筑群”这样的弗洛伊德语状态，还是中国主题公园中帕台农神庙的复制品，古希腊文化都塑造了我们生活的轮廓。自罗马模仿者以来，我们一直在希腊人的咒语下。

 但是，迄今为止，古希腊如何传播其影响力？这种影响如何改变了我们？ 托尼·斯波福斯（Tony Spawforth）探索我们的古典遗产，无论它在哪里找到。他揭示了一切遗产，从纳粹对斯巴达人的“种族纯洁”到古典教育的精英主义的痴迷从纳粹的痴迷到希腊影响力的黑暗面。这本书关注着巨大的希腊影响力的巨大广度和多样性，描绘了古代世界的生活遗产的基本肖像 - 考虑到它至关重要，为什么。

An enjoyable, accessible exploration of the legacy of ancient Greece today, across our daily lives and all forms of popular culture  Our contemporary world is inescapably Greek. Whether in a word like “pandemic,” a Freudian state of mind like the “Oedipus complex,” or a replica of the Parthenon in a Chinese theme park, ancient Greek culture shapes the contours of our lives. Ever since the first Roman imitators, we have been continually falling under the Greeks’ spell.

 But how did ancient Greece spread its influence so far and wide? And how has this influence changed us?  Tony Spawforth explores our classical heritage, wherever it’s to be found. He reveals its legacy in everything from religion to popular culture, and unearths the darker side of Greek influence—from the Nazis’ obsession with Spartan “racial purity” to the elitism of classical education. Paying attention to the huge breadth and variety of Hellenic influence, this book paints an essential portrait of the ancient world’s living legacy—considering to whom it matters, and why.
