  The Children of Athena - Greek...

  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 where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians. 
   
  Charles Freeman's accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual 'interludes' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author's The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.

  Throughout history, ancient relics have fascinated explorers, historians, and scientists alike. These mysterious artifacts, often shrouded in myth and legend, offer glimpses into the past that challenge our understanding of ancient civilizations. Some relics reveal technological advancements that seem far beyond the capabilities of their time, while others carry spiritual or symbolic significance that continues to intrigue scholars today. The presence of these objects raises important questions: Were ancient societies far more advanced than previously believed? Could these artifacts point to lost knowledge, forgotten technologies, or even connections to otherworldly influences?  
    
  The allure of these relics lies not only in their historical value but also in their ability to inspire wonder. Objects such as the Antikythera Mechanism, an intricate device often called the world's first computer, continue to puzzle researchers with their complexity. Meanwhile, the Baghdad Battery—a seemingly simple clay jar—has sparked debates over whether ancient cultures harnessed electrical power long before modern discoveries. These examples, among many others, demonstrate how relics can rewrite accepted narratives about humanity's technological progress.

  This combo explores the powerful virtues that motivate individuals to make a positive difference in the lives of others. By embracing Charity, Stewardship, and Willingness to Serve, we become agents of change, focused on compassion, selflessness, and responsibility. These virtues not only strengthen communities but also foster personal fulfillment through service.  
  Charity is the cornerstone of giving. This section delves into the transformative power of generosity and the importance of helping others without expecting anything in return. Charity is about recognizing the needs of others and responding with kindness, whether through time, resources, or love. It is the act of giving that elevates the giver and creates lasting impacts in the lives of those in need. 
  Stewardship involves responsibly managing the resources we have been entrusted with—whether they are financial, environmental, or personal. This part emphasizes the importance of taking care of the world around us, protecting what we’ve been given, and using our talents to benefit others. Stewardship is about mindful, responsible action that ensures the well-being of both current and future generations. 
  Willingness to Serve is a key element of living a life dedicated to others. This section highlights the value of choosing to serve without hesitation, embracing opportunities to make a difference wherever possible. Whether in everyday situations or through larger acts of service, a willingness to serve cultivates humility, gratitude, and compassion. 
  Together, these three virtues create a foundation for a life centered on helping others, fostering a sense of purpose, and creating a more caring, generous, and sustainable world.
