The course that Athens followed can be to us not only a record of old unhappy far-off things but a blueprint of what may happen again.\"\nWith the clarity and grace for which she is admired, Edith Hamilton writes of Plato and Aristotle, of Demosthenes and Alexander the Great, of the much-loved playwright Menander, of the Stoics, and finally of Plutarch. She brings these figures vividly to life, not only placing them in relation to their own times but also conveying very poignantly their meaning for our world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norton, 1964","offers":[{"title":"The Echo of Greece \/ Good","offer_id":52634065174820,"sku":"BBC0000081668GD","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_ccb0bbce-4b3c-4ea8-9830-78729a81acc8.jpg?v=1781792151","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/bbc0000081668","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
