Ancient authorities from the Western classical tradition offer opinions on these and other burning questions. The advice is often astonishing-for its wisdom, its entertainment value, or its complete lack of concern for modern sensibilities. The author, who collected these fascinating tidbits as she worked her way through many of the extant classical sources, can't help but enter the discussion with her own thoughts as well.

Prepare for smashface! The question is, will it be Devon's or the demon horde's?See, that's the problem with the Chosen One trope. Devon Walker really just wanted to power level, ideally solo, and collect some loot along the way. But yeah. Things in Relic Online just haven't turned out like she'd hoped. Recently, she completed an epic quest line to reawaken ancient magic, but so for it's been, well, anti-climactic. That would be sucky enough, but unless she figures something out, the game world--including her NPC friends who she believes are just alive as her human guildmates--is pretty much going to die in fire.So yeah, no pressure.The epic Stonehaven League saga continues with Throne of the Ancients.

This is an essay by Benjamin Constant. In this essay, Constant contrasted two views on freedom: one held by "the Ancients," particularly those in Classical Greece, and the other by members of modern societies. He investigates the dangers of attempting to impose ancient liberty in a modern context, as well as the risks associated with each type of liberty. The danger of ancient liberty was that men, preoccupied with securing their share of social power, might place too little value on individual rights and pleasures. The danger of modern liberty is that we will give up our right to participate in political power too easily, absorbed in the enjoyment of our independence and the pursuit of our particular interests." Constant believes that the two types of liberty must eventually be combined.
