Classic bilingual collection. Pagans did not have a monopoly on Hellenism. Contrary to popular belief, Greek culture did not die under the blows of Christianity and be resurrected during the Renaissance. Although critical, Christian authors nonetheless selected what they considered acceptable and compatible with the faith in the works of traditional Hellenism, particularly in the fields of literature and philosophy. A famous and emblematic work of the golden age of Greek patristics—it was even seen as a humanism before its time—the pamphlet To the Young Men by Basil of Caesarea is an essential text for anyone who wants to understand the Christian practice of secular Greek literature in the 4th century.
