Description

Description

With "The Mission of Greece," the Hellenist Sir Richard Livingstone, who was the president of Queen's University Belfast when he published this work, illuminates a significant historical period: its people, their ideas and visions, their choices and interests, the works they left behind, and their daily life.

His aim is to restore the true image of the Greco-Roman world in the eyes of the modern reader, free from prejudices, ideologies, and historical biases. With characteristic modesty and a low profile, Livingstone has reserved for himself the role of a discreet host: he gives the floor to the ancient authors themselves who expressed the spirit of their time, while he himself limits his comments, thus allowing ample space for the reader to shape their own opinions without influence.

Livingstone's passion and scholarship created this unique anthology, through which a world emerges that is so distant yet so similar to our own.
