“The aim of this book is to give as far as possible in brief compass a series of significant glimpses of the long, uninterrupted Greek cultural tradition, from the Antiquity to the present, in the fields of the fine arts, the sciences, language, philosophy, and religion. This volume may be viewed as a sequel to my shorter work: Cultural and Educational Continuity of Greece, whose scope is more limited.”
