Examining closely the conflicts between 'official' and 'unofficial'
narratives of the past, as well as diverse interpretations of
history directly influence by the modern day, The Useable Past is
an insightful and scholarly work revealing not only document
aspects of Hellenic history, but the flexibility of the human
psyche as characteristics of the human condition today as it was in
the days of Greek antiquity.
