    Life Beyond the City-State
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019*

One of the constant criticisms of Burckhardt's History of Greek Culture was that it repeated what was in this book.This book is more specialized.The History of Greek Culture was from the point of view of not just the poetry and plays,but from the point of view of the composers and performers.This is from the point of view from the audience.This is a major difference.Starting with the political system,which happens to be a form of communism;how did the population that survived the pogroms enjoy plays,poetry,and music in the audience?The History of Greek Culture concentrates on the form of these arts.The audience would gather into the amphitheater in all their glory.This would include their entourage as well as their clothing.They were there not just to be entertained,but they were there to be seen too.

    Classical scholarship
  

*by A***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2017*

Impeccable scholarship. Exquisite writing. This kind of mastery is, like ancient Greek civilization, destined for the Endangered Species list. For now, we have Burckhardt's gems to appreciate and extoll.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Possibly the best thing ever written about the Greeks
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2011*

Just in reference to some of the things other reviewers have said: books like this are only out of date to the extent that recent actual archeological or scientific study favors conclusions contrary to their own. A lot of what's in this book is bolstered up by such later discoveries - comments on new comedy entirely in line with later excavated works by Menander for instance. We view the Greeks today with an early 21st Century perspective. The difference between the amount of information available to Burckhardt and the amount of information available to us upon which to present the kind of global account that Burckhardt is presenting is negligible. Certain important aspects of Greek life that Burckhardt emphasizes would be overlooked today; not because the modern sciences of philology or archeology have proven them wrong, but because they are out of sync with the academic demands of the time, many of which are mere fashion. If I'm to choose between receiving a general account of Greek culture from a run-of-the-mill baby-boomer academic, and receiving one from one of the preeminent scholars of the 19th century, venerated by Nietzsche, I'd choose Burckhardt. The book is astonishing in ways that couldn't be replicated today.
