AWSNA Publications
has just published a remarkable new book about
ancient Greek civilization by
Willem Frederik Veltman
The title is "Hellas" and the author is Willem Frederik Veltman, who
taught for many years at the Waldorf School in The Hague, Netherlands.
It has been translated by Phillip Mees. The author offers us a review
of all the principal aspects of ancient Greek culture. He describes
the fundamental aspect of that culture of balance: balance between
heaven and earth, between the divine and the human, balance in society
where everything needs to have its proper place resulting in
righteousness, and the role of virtue as the state of balance between
two extremes.
He sketches the evolution of the world of the gods with its
three generations, the attitude of the Greek toward these gods, and
the way spiritual beings worked through human beings to found this
civilization. A long chapter is devoted to the Greek arts of
architecture, sculpture and painting.
He then takes the reader by the hand as he travels through the
country visiting the principal cities where in each place he
describes the history and myths that are living there: Athens with
Cecrops and Theseus, Thebes with Cadmus, Mycenae with Agamemnon and
the Trojan War, Thessaly with Jason, Macedonia with Alexander, and
many more. And on the way he uses the revelations of spiritual

science to indicate the significance of all these stories and events
as indicators of the evolution of consciousness and the critical role
this civilization has played in Europe. One chapter is devoted to a
most readable description of the development of Greek philosophy.
We heartily recommend this book to Waldorf teachers preparing for
the Greek bloc, but also to anyone interested in the culture that
laid the foundation for all of Western culture. The language is
modern and easy to read and the book is richly illustrated with
excellent pictures. It is now available at
www.awsna.org.
