Sailing The Wine-Dark Sea : Why the Greeks Matter

---

Outline : In Sailing the Wine Dark Sa, his fourth volume to explore "the hinges of history, Thomas Cahill escorts the reader on another entertaining-and historically unassailable - journey through the landmarks of art and bloodshed that defined Greek culture nearly three millennia ago. In the states of Athens and Sparta and throughout the Greek hors could be won in making love and war, and lives were rife dictions. By developing the alphabet, the Greeks empowered, demystified experience, and opened the way for civil and experimentation-yet they kept slaves. The glorious the Iliad recount a conflict in which rage and outrage spur men and suggest that their "bellicose society of gleaming metals and rattling weapons is not so very distant from more recent cam-ns of shock and awe." And, centuries before Zorba, Greece was a where music, dance, and freely flowing wine were essential to the high life. Granting equal time to the sacred and the profane, Cahill rivets our attention to the legacies of an ancient and enduring worldview.
