Philosophy, art, democracy, language, and even computers — many of our achievements originate in the Greek civilization. As you know, both the empire of Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire were essentially Greek. Renaissance figures and philosophers of the European Enlightenment turned to the Greeks in search of inspiration. Following a clear chronology, James Heneage briefly and in large strokes paints the history of Greece. The first part of the book is devoted to the period from antiquity to 1453, which the author calls "the rule of half the world." In 1453, Greece lost its independence and became part of the Ottoman Empire, so the second part covers a period of almost four hundred years, which the author calls the "longest sleep" of the nation. 1830, the year of the complete awakening from this "dream", was the date of the proclamation and final recognition of the independence of the Kingdom of Greece. The third part describes the history of modern Greece up to 1949 (the reign of Otto, George I, the revolution and the Civil War in Russia, the First and Second World Wars and the Civil War in Greece). The fourth part highlights the events from 1949 to 2020. The result is a concise and informative chronicle of the historical path of the Greeks, which is more than three thousand years long.
