Will Durant on the ancient Greeks 350 BC:

"The persistent effort to subordinate fancy to reason is the dominate quality of the Greek mind.

Ergo, Greek literature is modern, or rather contemporary, we find it hard to understand Dante or Milton, but Euripides and Thucydides are kin to us mentally and belong to our age.

This is because though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason makes brothers of its lovers in all times and everywhere.
