The inside of your head is Greek

Greeks or Romans? I don’t think anyone could put it better than Edith Hall, in this TLS debate with Mary Beard:

“I would be prepared to concede that the Romans have left more physical marks that you can see. Great, you can really think about an aqueduct for a very, very long time. When it comes to the internal landscapes of your brain, though, all the contours are Greek. Whether it’s thinking imaginatively about literary and theatrical and emotional scenarios, reunions between husbands and wives like the Odyssey or the simple matter of the distinction between nature and culture, the building blocks of philosophy, the Greeks have done it, the inside of your head is Greek. So it’s really a matter of whether you’re an interior kind of person, or a person who likes looking at aqueducts.”
