Alexandria City of the Western Mind Theodore Vrettos Published by History - World

Author: Theodore Vrettos

Publisher: History - World

Description:
Alexandria was the greatest cultural capital of the ancient world. Accomplished classicist and author Theodore Vrettos now tells it story for the first time in a single volume. His enchanting blend of literary and scholarly qualities makes stories that played out among architectural wonders of the ancient world come alive. His fascinating central contention that this amazing metropolis created the western mind can now take its place in cultural history.

Vrettos describes how and why the brilliant minds of the ages--Greek scholars, Roman emeprors, Jewish leaders, and father of the Christian Church--all traveled to the shining port city Alexander the Great founded in 332 B.C., at the mouth of the mighty Nile. There they enjoyed learning from an extraordinary population of peaceful citizens whose rich intellectual life would quietly build the science, art, faith, and even politics of western civilization. No one has previously argued that, unlike the renowned military centers of the Mediterranean such as Rome, Carthage, and Sparta, Alexandria was a city of the mind. In a brief section on the great conqueror and founder Alexander, we learned that he himself was a student of Aristotle.
