About George Theodoridis
"George is a sample specimen of Aristotle's 'political animal' and a lover not only of Aristotle and his work but of all the men and women who have contributed to the nourishment of the human mind, the nurturing of its heart and to the understanding of the difference between good and evil. He has translated all of the extant plays of the 5th Century BC, Athenians, as well as many of the Lyric poets, including Sappho and a few morsels from Plato’s lush table, all of which he has placed up on the web for everyone to download, to study or to read at their leisure. His thirteen volumes of the Greek plays and a book of his own poetry are available from Amazon. He loves Literature and when one is so disposed one cannot help but to also love politics. The two are inextricably one. George says he's neither Left nor Right, since these terms are now nothing more than labels on an empty vessel. What is meaningful is the thought and the deed and both should be just. He is a member of the working group of the Barum Fabula digital library of classical works, a collaboration of eight universities in Spain and the US. http://thebarumfabula.usc.es/team/

Wentworth: Something right out of the classics!

October 20, 2018 George Theodoridis 14

By George Theodoridis It’s Thucydides all over again, isn’t it? I mean, it’s so bloody obvious! Here, in this war we have the classic “Thucydides Trap” a […]

To woo or not to woo?

October 14, 2018 George Theodoridis 3

By George Theodoridis It seems to me that we have a pronounced, a phosphorescently obvious reluctance to employ women; and by “we” I don’t just […]

From Aristophanes to Knight Or “Is something else going here?”
