Natalie Haynes 
Ancient Guide to Modern Life 

Sokongan
"A wonderfully whimsical yet instructional view of Greco-Roman history." -Kirkus Reviews In this thoroughly engaging book, Natalie Haynes brings her scholarship and wit to the most fascinating true stories of the ancient world. The Ancient Guide to Modern Life not only reveals the origins of our culture in areas including philosophy, politics, language, and art, it also draws illuminating connections between antiquity and our present time, to demonstrate that the Greeks and Romans were not so different from ourselves: Is Bart Simpson the successor to Aristophanes? Do the Beckhams have parallel lives with The Satiricon’s Trimalchio? Along the way Haynes debunks myths (gladiators didn’t salute the emperor before their deaths, and the last words of Julius Caesar weren’t "et tu, brute?"). From Athens to Zeno’s paradox, this irresistible guide shows how the history and wisdom of the ancient world can inform and enrich our lives today."A romp through some of the best-known, and some of the more obscure, writers, thought, and stories of Greece and Rome." -Times Literary Supplement
