 BRUCE
S. THORNTON
is one of the most respected historians in the Classics and Ancient
Greece.
In addition to being an outstanding lecturer in
the classroom, Professor Thornton has frequently
given talks and lectures to community organizations about the significance
of Ancient Greece and refutes assertions by multi-culturalists
that the Ancient Greeks are not the founders of Western Civilization.
Professor Thornton has written
numerous articles about Ancient Greece in both
scholarly journals and popular publications, including the National
Herald and the Greek-American Monthly
Review. Thornton has been interviewed
on numerous TV and radio stations.
Thornton’s publications on
Ancient Greece and related topics are very impressive.
The books he has written include:
Greek
Ways: How the Greeks Created Western Civilization
Plagues
of the Mind: The New Epidemic of False Knowledge
Eros:
The Myth of Ancient Greek Sexuality
A
Student’s Guide to Classics
Thornton’s book, Greek
Ways: How the Greeks Created Western Civilization,
is in the process of being translated into Modern Greek.
Professor Thornton is the co-author
of other books on the Classics, including Bonfires in
the Humanities (with Victor Davis Hanson).
However, this dynamic scholar has also written stimulating books
on non-historical topics.
Professor Thornton’s role
as co-writer of the script, as well as his significant
historical input, is very valuable.
Please read Professor Thornton's speech "Defending
the Greeks."
