Powell try to see ancient Greece as a whole: not just a narrative of events or an overview of culture, but history and culture taken together. From ancient Greece comes the modern conviction that through open discussion and the exercise of reason a society of free citizens can solve the problems that challenge it. In one period of Greek history, a society just so governed produced timeless masterpieces of literature, art, and rational thought at the same time that it waged terrible wars and committed countless cruelties. If we understand the past, we can live better in the present, but the past is hard to understand. In \u003cem\u003eThe Greeks\u003c\/em\u003e, Morris and Powell offer new ways of thinking about old problems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIan Morris is the Jean and Rebecca Willard Professor of Classics at Stanford University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarry B.
