Actually everything I mentioned about the greeks is
historical fact. They did not have a one dimensional
society, philosophically or otherwise. We may
romanticize Alexander; in reality he was a violent,
murderous drunkard...
We've just been brainwashed to think of the Greek
culture representing the "pure" ideals of western
civilization. Yes and no.
