Imagine how inspiring it must be to read them in the original Greek!. You read a translation and look what an effect they had on you!. The science of language and words was central to Greek education for the few who could afford school!. When you say the word Greek to me I immediately picture a Greek temple and a classic nude sculpture!. Their standards of architecture and art are with us still in the twenty first century!. Art was important to the ancient Greeks!. Some cities had dozens of statuary monuments throughout the limits of the city center!. The Winged Victory of Somothrace was part of a civic monument!. Imagine all the art that has been lost over time!.

Greek culture formed the basis for Roman culture and essentially all of Western civilization that followed!. We are still amazed at the drama, the philosophy, the art, the architecture, and the literature, as well as the mathematics and science!.
The principal work of the Renaissance was to resurrect Greek knowledge that had been lost in the early Christian era and then go on from there!. Fortunately, a lot of the writing had been preserved in the Arab world!.
And it's Empedocles!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
