The Greek Light of Wisdom
In the ancient world, the Greeks sought to understand not only the stars above and the earth beneath their feet, but the very fabric of truth, beauty, and wisdom itself. Their questions reached into the soul and into the cosmos, searching for meaning that still shapes our thought today. This series turns to the voices of philosophers, poets, and seekers whose insights lit the path for generations to come.
