Our Great War and the Great War of the Ancient Greeks

Více o knize

First delivered as a series of lectures in 1914, this book explores the connections between the First World War and the epic poetry of ancient Greece. Murray argues that both conflicts share a common character, in which the individual is called upon to sacrifice himself for the greater good. With eloquent prose and thoughtful analysis, Murray offers a fascinating perspective on the nature of war and its impact on human society.
