具体描述
The aim of this work is not a history of events but an account of the achievement and spirit of Greece. "Five hundred years before Christ in a little town on the far western border of the settled and civilizaed world, a strange new power was at work. . . . Athens had entered upon her brief and magnificent flowering of genius which so molded the world of mind and of spirit that our mind and spirit today are different. . . . What was then produced of art and of thought has never been surpasses and very rarely equalled, and the stamp of it is upon all the art and all the thought of the Western world."
A perennial favorite in many different editions, Edith Hamilton's best-selling The Greek Way captures the spirit and achievements of Greece in the fifth century B.C. A retired headmistress when she began her writing career in the 1930s, Hamilton immediately demonstrated a remarkable ability to bring the world of ancient Greece to life, introducing that world to the twentieth century. The New York Times called The Greek Way a "book of both cultural and critical importance."

读后感
要了解中国近现代文学及文化发展，很难不往西方找源头，而西方之源头便要追溯所谓“二希传统”，希腊和希伯来在汉密尔顿的书中分属于西方和东方的精神，当然所谓东方指的是近东一带，在《希腊的回声》最后一章她认为最终教会与罗马精神结合而就此跟希腊精神擦肩而过，“二希”...
评分人类文明史上，总会有一些犹如珠峰一般存在的问题，吸引着无数学者慕名前往，勇攀高峰。比如古希腊，它究竟是如何在短短几百年内发展出一种对后世影响深远的璀璨文化？作为现代人，我们真的是很好奇。实际上，对于古希腊的这种好奇在19世纪的欧洲学术界已经达到了一种“言必称...

评分希腊是一个奇迹。近世的研究已经找到希腊各式各样优越之点的外族来源，但这丝毫都不改变这样一个事实：希腊是一个奇迹。各个民族的神话、文字、数学、建筑风格、军队组织及其他等等在或深或浅的各个层面上影响了希腊，或者不如说，汇集到希腊，就像百川汇海一样，在希腊聚集成...
评分美国人眼中的希腊，总带有美国人的色彩，总是将希腊当作精神的先驱来歌颂，而不是寻找一个真实的希腊。汉密尔顿笔下的希腊，活脱是美国现代精神的翻版，“希腊人可以自由地思考这个世界，摒弃所有传统的解释，无视任何祭司的教条，不受任何外界权力的影响去追求真理。”P25这种...

希腊，文明的奇迹，人类最荣光的一瞬。
评分3.5星。Grossly simplistic but surprisingly entertaining. 因为是30年代的书，有些话很敢说，我觉得说得大意也不错。不少小细节和例证值得研究
评分拜见恨晚
评分带有偏见 不过还行
评分关于中西方差异的观点略主观。现在看来已经有些过时，但是仍然令人大开眼界。
