In "The Birth of Greece", Pierre Lévêque transports us to Ancient Greece, where myths and history intertwine in an idealized dream of a golden age. The author invites us to reflect on Greek civilization as an essential reference of our culture, questioning the importance of distinguishing facts from fiction. Through a journey through fifteen centuries of history, Lévêque explores the invasions of Greek soil, the expansion in the Mediterranean, the artistic development from the Bronze Age, the rivalry between Sparta and Athens, the birth of philosophy, comedy, tragedy, and the decline of Greece after the conquest of Alexander.
Pierre Lévêque was a 20th-century French historian of ancient and Hellenistic Greece.
