Il tramonto di una civiltà, vol. 1 (di 2) : O la fine della Grecia antica
"Il tramonto di una civiltà, vol. 1 (di 2): O la fine della Grecia antica" by Corrado Barbagallo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the decline of ancient Greek civilization, focusing on the socio-political dynamics that led cities like Athens and Sparta from glory to subjugation. Examining various themes, Barbagallo addresses the root causes of decline and the implications of slavery as a cornerstone
of Greek society. The opening of the book establishes a thematic exploration of the fall of ancient Greece, using a quote from Isocrate to frame its inquiry into the reasons for its decline. Barbagallo emphasizes the importance of understanding historical causation rather than mere events, seeking a comprehensive analysis of the societal changes, economic structures, and the pervasive influence of slavery. He sets up a discussion that will focus on how the systems of governance, economics, and social structures contributed to the eventual degradation of a once-great civilization, engaging readers with a profound examination of the underlying issues that resonate even in contemporary society.
