Overpositive?

I think this article shows a great deal of the classical writers. But in my opinion it refers far too often to the present, with sentences like 'They also invented drama and produced masterpieces that are still reckoned as drama's crowning achievement' and 'Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. It is impossible to calculate the enormous influence these thinkers have had on Western society' It is not a case of validating research to the Classics and why it should be read at all, it is a case of explaining the literature that was written. I really would like to see a more fact-based article, with references and footnotes, based on compendia like 'Ancient literature: a concise history' and the Cambridge history series. Edit: forgot to sign my point. Again. Evil-ine (talk) 16:40, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
