Classical Greece was a truly remarkable time. It was the age of the discovery of Western thought and philosophy - when Plato, a student of Socrates, wrote his masterpieces, and founded the first Western Academy. Having gone halfway through one of Plato's most renowned writing, The Republic, I now find that it is by far the greatest book I have ever read. It's time for me to rediscover other classical writings as well!
