Both for the ancient and medieval literature I would like to emphasize the immeasurable wealth and breadth of cultural heritage thad has survived to old and new barbarism. The ancient Greek and Latin literature, and not just them, tell us our roots and our culture, that survived the histoty upheavals events, have been integrated and enriched and did end up coming to survive until today.
Today, however, it seems that our roots have been forgotten. Even in the European constitution there's no mention of our cultural and religious origins. Myths of Modernism and materialistic philosophies have reduced the ancient literature to things for a few insiders.
In particular the marxists, and unfortunately not only them, have demonized the classical antiquity, generally giving the worst sense in interpreting all our history and our culture, and especially misrepresenting the facts in those periods that they consider a symbol of imperialism, colonialism and oppression of man by man. Even the arrogance of relativism has led and leads to misrepresent the historical truths and to propagate commercial-like inventions, suggesting books that, along with false ideas, generate confusion and ignorance. With particular regard I refer to the publishing industry in general. The extraordinary success of certain works tells us how regressed and degraded the great part of the popular literature is.
OBJECTIVES: in these pages one would to be hosted well documented written works, and other materials to get appreciable again the taste of the classical and the reading of the ancient classics in the original or in translation, including the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. If one wants to restore the historical truth and dispel certain myths, one must read ancient writers remembering that, if the classical culture has come down to us, we owe it to the wisdom and patience of the great abbeys monks who copied and recopied patiently everything, nothing discarding.
CONTENT: we want speak not only of the great classics ranging from the Archaic to Imperial times, but also of the Middle Ages. It should be either enphasized timely objections and criticisms against the misconceptions regarding antiquity.
Content can cover every period, starting from the Archaic through the first Greek lyric and elegy, the Classical and Hellenistic, and ending with the imperial Age and the Middle Ages. If one considers the technological means of the ages mentioned the richness of this literature is enormous.
