The Greeks and the New. Novelty in Ancient Greek Imagination and Experience. - ANGOUR, A. D',
KORTE INHOUD
'In sum, this is a fascinating, engaging book. D?Angour has demonstrated that the ancient Greeks , in almost every sphere , believed that novelty, change, and newness were not necessarily things that 'just happen'. Rather, as he shows, these phenomena could be seen as the result of human intention, ambition, skill, effort, and ingenuity. In a field that has only recently begun to remember its roots in (and its obligations to) the minds of ancient individuals, D?Angour?s The Greeks and the New shows the way forward. Not to be missed.' (PETER SCHULTZ in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2013.01.48)
