In this beautifully written book, summing up a life-time's research, Christian Meier enquires into the origins of the Greek achievement, asking what the factors were which enabled such a remarkable cultural, social, political and scientific effloressence. In charting the rise of the polis culture during the archaic age, Meier argues that what set the Greeks apart as a civilization was the pursuit of freedom; that their culture was based on the hopes and desires of its citizenry rather than the power of great empires and monarchs.
