History of Greek Culture

A landmark of cultural history, 'History of Greek Culture' (Griechische Kulturgeschichte) moves beyond political narrative to explore the inner life of ancient Greek civilization — its gods and festivals, its poets and philosophers, its city-states and their contests. Burckhardt treats Greek culture as an organic whole, tracing the forces of creativity and decline that shaped one of humanity's most formative civilizations.
