  The neo-Hellenic revival of the late 18th and early 19th century, introduced the features of Greek art to the West, but divorced them from their original context. This book explores the impact of ancient Greece on theatre, art and architecture, myth, science and philosophy, sex, politics and war. Along the way it ranges form Marx and Nietzsche, via Freud and Jung to I.F. Stone and Umberto Eco.
