An Anthology of Ancient Greeks on Freedom

Description

For the Greeks, Freedom, more than a mental concept or the foundation of individual beliefs, has always been the lived experience of a people and culture, from within which the notion itself was first revealed and formulated as a moral principle.
The history of Ancient Greece is, above anything else, the history of an unrelenting fight for freedom: national freedom, political and social freedom, freedom of spirit and conscience, freedom of will. A fight against all forms of servitude.
This book contains an extensive anthology of ancient Greek texts on the concept of Freedom, cited as preserved in ancient Greek texts, extending over 14 centuries (from the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD). (From the publisher)
