Grčko čudo

Vojtech Zamarovsky

A comprehensive work that explores the extraordinary development of ancient Greek civilization and its lasting influence on Western culture. The author analyzes in detail various aspects of Greek society to demonstrate the uniqueness and significance of t

The book begins with an overview of Greek mythology, providing insight into the wealth of stories and legends that shaped Greek consciousness and identity. Zamarovsky investigates how myths influenced the everyday life of the Greeks and their understanding of the world.​​

An analysis of Greek philosophy follows, where the author emphasizes the contribution of thinkers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Their ideas laid the foundations of the Western philosophical tradition and science, and Zamarovsky explains how their reflections shaped the ethical and moral values ​​of society.​

In the field of art, the book describes in detail the development of architecture, sculpture and painting. The author emphasizes innovations such as the Doric and Ionic styles in architecture and realism and idealism in sculpture, which is visible in works such as the Parthenon and the sculptures of Phidias.

The historical section of the book focuses on key events such as the Greco-Persian Wars, where Zamarovsky analyzes the battles and strategies that led to the Greek victory over the superior Persian forces. These conflicts not only preserved Greek independence, but also allowed culture and democracy to flourish in Athens.

Throughout the work, the author emphasizes how the Greeks managed to create a civilization that, despite its fragmentation into many polises, achieved incredible achievements in various fields. Zamarovsky concludes that it was this combination of political freedom, critical thinking, and aesthetic sensitivity that led to the emergence of the "Greek miracle", the echoes of which still shape the modern world today.
