Life is full of questions: .Some are trivial and everyday - where did I put my keys? .Some concern important life decisions - shall I emigrate? .And some are yet more profound does life have a purpose? Questions of this third type relate not so much to our individual lives, but to Life itself. They are, you might say, eternal questions. Different periods of history and civilizations offer varied answers to these eternal questions. This book considers some of the answers given 2,500 years ago by our distant cultural ancestors, the ancient Greeks. Ancient they may be but the Greeks asked the same eternal questions we ask, and came up with interesting answers. They felt the passionate emotions we feel and dealt with them in creative ways. They felt the same spiritual longings as us - and found diverse ways of satisfying them. Greek ideas influence many aspects of our lives - language, art, architecture, literature, drama, philosophy, psychology, morals, medicine, history - and still inspire, inform and exasperate us. In exploring the answers offered by Greek philosophers and thinkers, the Author offers a lively introduction to Ancient Greek culture, and a concise and attractive account of the main cultural ideas of the Ancient Greek World. Sylvia Moody is a Classicist and Psychologist with a life-long passion for Greece and the ancient world. Many years spent in Greece enabled her to remain close to Greek language and culture, and to retain a keen sense of the magic and enchantment of the world of the Ancient Greeks. "This slim volume is full of surprises. The eternal questions of the title are the big ones that face every generation. Sylvia Moody approaches them through the eyes of theancient Greeks, who were famously interested in asking questions and looking for answers. The results are provocative and stimulating, inviting readers to engage in the continuing debate. Moody's crisp analyses are informed by a deep interest in Greek culture, ancient and modern, and Cavafy turns up as often as Homer or Sophocles in the quotations that enrich her writings. The book will stimulate readers to find out more about the Greeks and their ideas." Patricia Easterling, Regius Professor of Greek Emeritus, Cambridge University.…
