I need some help on an English question, "would you rather live today or in ancient Greece?"
So, i’m trying to find some differences as to why i would want to live today, rather that ancient Greece.
Thanks

in ancient greece women were regarded as weak females even though they were respected as creators of life. Men made political decisions.

The Kybalion: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece (Illustrated)

admin on Dec-29-2011

The Kybalion: A Study of The Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece (Illustrated)
Product Description- This edition of The Kybalion contains illustrations that complement the work.
- Each chapter contains an image related to the topic of the chapter.

The purpose of this work is not the enunciation of any special philosophy or doctrine, but rather is to give to the students a statement of the Truth that will serve to reconcile the many bits of occult knowledge that they may have acquired, but which are apparently opposed to each other and which often serve to discourage and disgust the beginner in the study. Our intent is not to erect a new Temple of Knowledge, but rather to place in the hands of the student a Master-Key with which he may open the many inner doors in the Temple of Mystery through the main portals he has already entered.
