How would someone re word this? 20 ! this indebtedness to greece was even recognized by the writers themselves. horace, one of the poets of the golden age of roman literature wrote that greece introduced the arts "into a backward latium." historian nigel rodgers in his roman empire wrote that greek authors originated many philosophical and political concepts that influenced such romans as cicero, seneca, boethius, catullus, and virgil - "a greek and roman synthesis" (258). he added that rome could not and did not deny that greece was more refined and superior in both intellectual and cultural pursuits from technology and philosophy to poetry and sculpture. in reality, rome could hardly deny a closeness to greece since greek cities had existed on both the lower peninsula and sicily for decades.

Even the writers noticed their indebtedness to Greece. One of the poets, who was named Horace and has been recognized in the Golden Age of Roman Literature, stated that Greece interpreted the arts "into a backward Latium." Nigel Rodgers, a historian, said that authors from Greece made many political and philosophical concepts that influenced many Romans, such as Boethius, Catullus, Cicero, Seneca and Virgil. "A Greek and Roman synthesis," he wrote. He also implied that Rome did and could not deny that other places were inferior compared to Greece, in both intellectual and cultural pursuits, from technology and philosophy to sculpture and poetry. Really, Rome had to accept that a closeness to Greece had existed of both Sicily and the lower peninsula for many years.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
