Reading of Dr Seymour's Greek essay in Harper's
The article by Dr Seymour, Greek professor at Yate University, in Harper's Magazine, refreshes memories of ancient Greece and argues Greece shaped modern ideas. It contrasts Athenian intelligence, public life, art, and politics with Britain and modern society, noting open discussion, diverse institutions, and communal values, with reflections on wealth, warfare, and civic duty.
