Summary

The Legacy of Greece is a profound exploration of the philosophical, artistic, and political heritage of ancient Greece and its enduring influence on contemporary civilization. This anthology, comprised of essays and analyses by various scholars, encompasses a range of themes including the evolution of democratic ideals, the birth of tragedies and comedies, and the philosophical inquiries that continue to shape modern thought. With a scholarly yet accessible style, the contributors effectively contextualize the profound impacts of Greek legacy, intertwining historical narrative with literary critique, making it an essential read for both academics and general readers alike. The authors, distinguished voices in classical studies, share a common reverence for Greece's monumental contributions to the world.

Their collective scholarship underscores a shared passion for elucidating the complexities and nuances of this rich cultural heritage, fostering a deeper understanding of how these early ideas inform present-day thought and governance. I wholeheartedly recommend The Legacy of Greece to anyone seeking to grasp the fundamental threads that connect ancient wisdom to modern existence. This compilation offers enlightening insights suitable for enthusiasts of history, philosophy, and literature, serving as both a scholarly resource and a reflective invitation to appreciate the roots of Western civilization.

    Are you constantly seeking reassurance from others? Do you suffer from debilitating anxiety if you aren't absolutely certain about everything? Seeking reassurance to remove doubt or fear is natural, and we all do it from time to time. However, it becomes a compulsion when it develops into something repetitive and ritualistic. This compulsion is linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), can perpetuate and worsen this condition, and can also create conflict between you, your friends, coworkers, and loved ones. So, how do you stop? 
 
 
 
The Compulsive Reassurance Seeking Workbook offers proven-effective tools to reduce compulsions, make peace with uncertainty, and better manage your OCD. Grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment for OCD, this workbook reveals how reassurance seeking can interfere with your relationships, and provides healthy coping strategies you can use to reassure yourself—without resorting to compulsive questioning. 
 
 
 
Compulsive reassurance seeking can be exhausting, and more often than not, exposes you and those closest to you to increased levels of conflict, stress, and anxiety. It's time to reassure yourself the right way—a way that encourages and empowers you to seek genuine well-being, self-worth, and peace of mind from within. This workbook can help you get started today.

  • Jugurthine War The: The History of the Roman Republic’s Controversial Conflict with the Numidians - cover

    Jugurthine War The: The History...

    Before the Numidians were conquered by the Romans and Numidia was officially made part of Roman Africa, they developed a culture that was as sophisticated and unique as any in the ancient world. The Numidians were a Berber people who emerged from the edge of the desert in the late 2nd millennium BCE, and despite the harshness of their environment (or perhaps because of it), they eventually became the most powerful people in North Africa. The Numidians found success on the backs of horses, which they rode to countless military victories, and when they could not defeat their enemies with conventional tactics, they were not afraid to resort to asymmetrical warfare.  
	The most famous conflict with the Romans was the Jugurthine War, even though the Romans do not appear to have officially declared war on Numidia. The Romans entered Numidia determined to defeat Jugurtha and his Numidian army in a very conventional way, but having fought alongside and against the Numidians in the Punic Wars, the Romans should have known better, as Jugurtha knew that he had little chance of defeating the Romans in head-to-head combat. Numidia was rich, but it was not as rich as Rome in resources or people, and although the Numidian military was among the best in the Mediterranean at the time, it was not equipped to defeat the Romans.  
	The most significant aspect of the Jugurthine War was the rivalry that it produced between Marius and Sulla. As was tradition, the commander, Marius, received the credit for the victory, but Sulla resented that his own part was downplayed, in particular his personal success in taking Jugurtha into custody. Sulla had a celebratory ring made to commemorate the event, and he, and the aristocratic faction that supported him, did all they could to enhance the role he had played while minimizing that of Marius.
