Beginning with an examination of the Homeric world and continuing with a discussion of the political ideas of the lyric poets from Hesiod to Pindar, the author moves on to a political analysis of the pre-Socratic philosophers, the tragedians, Herdotus, Thucydides, the Sophists, Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and the Epicureans. Finally, the writings of Polybius are examined as a key to understanding the assimilation of Greek political thought into the mainstream of Roman thought.

The great dialogue
Interesting book. Richard discusses in depth how the ancients (Greeks & Romans)influneced the founding generations. Somewhat difficult to describe the differnt topics of the book but it definitley is not for the casual reader whose primary reading time is at night and staying awake is a must. I will have to read this again at another time too as it was pretty hard to get through. Not a lot of places in the chapters to stop and take a break either which was annoying.
I enjoyed reading how Adams, Jefferson, Madison, etc. relied on the writings of Aristotle, Cicero, Plato, Socrates, and a bunch of other ancients, whose names I can't pronounce or spell, as reference for making arguments at the Constitutional Convention and other important moments.
Not for pleasure or casual reading, but it was interesting.
