Edith Hamilton

    12. srpen 1867 – 31. květen 1963

    Edith Hamilton byla celoživotní pedagožka a historička, která se proslavila svými literárními díly o antickém světě. Její psaní se vyznačuje hlubokým porozuměním klasické filozofie a kultury, které dokázala přiblížit moderním čtenářům. Hamilton se zaměřila na vyzdvihování nadčasových paralel mezi životem ve starověkém Řecku a v současnosti. Svým srozumitelným a poutavým stylem zpřístupnila krásu a moudrost antiky širokému publiku.
