Summary

This quote suggests that our understanding of the early Greco-Roman period is relatively comprehensive because the motivations of humans at that time were similar to ours today. In other words, by identifying and relating to their motives, we are able to gain insights into their actions, ideals, and societal dynamics. This shared human nature allows us to connect and empathize with people from the past, thus enabling a deeper understanding of historical events and cultures from this period.
