Book Details

The ancient Greek tradition works like a Darwinian evolutionary pattern adapting to each of time’s byways to sustain a new life. In a paradoxical way, the long horizon of Greek thought flirts with eternity but it does so by virtue of its changeful adaptability. When the classical becomes the now, reading becomes an event of recognition. Suddenly, we know that modern meanings have always lived in ancient art as a potentially accomplished thing.
