註釋

The book explores what has been made out of ancient Greece, and how the modern world has been inspired by, reacted against, imitated, transformed, parodied, recycled, subverted or received Greek culture. It is a brilliant attempt by one of our leading classical scholars to show why a new and fluid view of the Greek ideal - quite different from that of Renaissance painters or Victorian builders - is surfacing in our lives today and what the phenomenon might signify to us as we approach the twenty-first century. Visually spectacular and constantly surprising, this book is linked with a series of television documentaries made by Transatlantic Films with Channel 4.
