Reading: The Greeks by H.D.F. Kitto 📚 … just finished reading the sixth chapter… this book is so well written and completely engrossing… the sixth chapter concerns early Classical Greece and focuses on the Ionians, Spartans and Athenians… Athens is especially interesting for the way in which its widely admired culture came about… … if i have any complaint, and this might be more appropriate to direct to Greek culture of the time than to the author of this book, it’s that women are mostly absent from the history… i am about half way through the book, so i suppose it is possible a woman or two will figure into the picture somewhere… … even so, it is a fascinating book, easy to read, and has much to ponder in relation to the current political and cultural churning in the United States and around the World…
