    Greek literature depicts a society that is similar to our own, one that is mostly democratic, full of the spirit of free inquiry, tormented by stubborn feuds and even stubborner issues. The ideologies of militarism, nationalism, socialism, and communism were well-known, and some of their noisy, uninformed, and well-liked preachers. The most cunning individuals in history twice sought to defend a maritime empire against a military oligarchy, but they were unsuccessful in both attempts.No individual who professes to assess European literature while ignorant of the principles upon which it is constructed can be anything other than absurd. Neglecting either current or ancient culture cannot help but harm the vast mass of information to which all people have unfettered access. Human nature, at least, was the same then as it is now, thus studying human character should be the main focus.In our enlightened day, Greek literature has been condemned and outlawed by those whose only qualification for the critic's position is a mental darkness regarding it that is so profound that, like that of Egypt, it can be felt. The following pages try to show that it is not dead yet, for it has a distinct message to deliver.
