The Greeks Who Made Us Who We Are: Eighteen Ancient Philosophers, Scientists, Poets and Others

Was amazed at the relevance that the Greek Philosophers influence upon the formation of our founding fathers who studied their teachings and applied them to the formation of the democracy we have today.Very profoundly written and is very interesting to study the basic principles that were borrowed from the ancient Greeks who still have an effect on us today.

Incisive literate prose & interesting content makes for a near perfect read. Some writers illumine the reader. Professor Soupios displays this gift in abundance
