Originally published in the UK in 1961 this was an unconventional book when first published but a powerful interpretation of Greek individualism. The author examines the influence of the Greeks on European philosophy, religion, literature, art and architecture and challenges many commonly held assumptions: ‘Those items in the Greek legacy which are most easily recognizable as such are in fact the least important.’
I know of no other non-technical study which isolates as clearly and accurately as does Hadas’s book, the dominance of competitive and—by Jewish and Christian standards—secular individualism in ancient Greece. Maurice Cohen, Commentary, October 1960
