""What Have The Greeks Done For Modern Civilisation? The Lowell Lectures Of 1908-09"" is a book written by John Pentland Mahaffy, which explores the impact of ancient Greek culture and civilization on modern society. The book is based on a series of lectures that Mahaffy delivered at the Lowell Institute in Boston in 1908-09. Mahaffy discusses various aspects of Greek culture, including their literature, philosophy, art, and politics, and how these have influenced modern society. He argues that the Greeks were instrumental in shaping many of the fundamental ideas and values that underpin modern Western civilization, such as democracy, humanism, and rationalism. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various contributions made by the Greeks to modern civilization, including their influence on the development of science, medicine, and mathematics. Mahaffy also explores the impact of Greek mythology and religion on modern culture, as well as their legacy in the arts, including drama, sculpture, and architecture. Overall, ""What Have The Greeks Done For Modern Civilisation? The Lowell Lectures Of 1908-09"" is a fascinating exploration of the enduring influence of ancient Greek culture on modern society. It provides a valuable insight into the ways in which the ideas and values of the Greeks continue to shape our world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
