The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8364033805?utm_medium=api

"How the World Made the West".
The West, so the story goes, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance.
Josephine Quinn shows in a fascinating longread that this is an oversimplification.
A connect-the-dots history lesson well worth reading.
