Quando una nave arriverà da Delo, Socrate dovrà morire. Bisogna forse sottrarsi a questo destino, come vorrebbero gli amici? Ma così verrebbe negato tutto quanto Socrate ha costruito nella sua vita, tutto il patrimonio di coerenza e dirittura morale che lo ha sempre contraddistinto e guidato. No, si deve affrontare ciò che è stato deciso secondo la legge, quella legge che è ossatura e anima dell'amata città. A chi piacerebbe una città senza leggi?

Dalle voci di Gabriele Marchesini (Socrate) e Renzo Morselli (Critone), nella traduzione classica di Francesco Acri, un folgorante esempio di dialettica, un'opera alta e toccante che ancora una volta illumina la grandezza di Socrate.

When a ship comes from Delos, Socrates will have to die. Shall he escape his fate, as his friends would like? But in that case all that Socrates constructed in his life would be negated, all the wealth of consistency and moral rectitude that has always characterized and guided him. No, what was decided according to the law must be confronted since the law is the framework and soul of the beloved city. Who would like a lawless city?

From Gabriele Marchesini's (Socrates) and Renzo Morselli's (Criton) voices, in Francesco Acri's classic translation, a dazzling example of dialectic, a high and touching work that once again illuminates Socrates' greatness.

Classics: A Very Short Introduction By Mary Beard [Audiobook]

Classics: A Very Short Introduction By Mary Beard [Audiobook]

seeds_152.86MB   June 21, 2018

This Very Short Introduction to classics links a haunting temple on a lonely mountainside to the glory of ancient Greece and the grandeur of Rome, and to Classics within modern culture - from Jefferson and Byron to Asterix and Ben-Hur.

We are all Classicists - we come into touch with the Classics daily: in our culture, politics, medicine, architecture, language, and literature. What are the true roots of these influences, however, and how do our interpretations of these aspects of the Classics differ from their original reception?

This introduction to the Classics begins with a visit to the British Museum to view the frieze which once decorated the Apollo Temple at Bassae. Through these sculptures, John Henderson and Mary Beard prompt us to consider the significance of Classics as a means of discovery and enquiry, its value in terms of literature, philposophy, and culture, and its importance as a source of imagery.
