THE CHILDREN OF ATHENA
GREEK WRITERS AND THINKERS IN THE AGE OF ROME, 150 BC-AD 400
CHARLES FREEMAN
A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome. In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy[Bokinfo].
