Abstract

Abstract:

Zhou Zuoren's research on ancient Greek literature was a result of his reflections and criticisms of modern Chinese thoughts.He chose mimes and myths as his study object.The choice itself represented his idea: human nature could be liberated from the repression of a nation-society system by a way of independent participation in national constructions.Furthermore, using Greece as a cultural strategy, Zhou Zuoren reinterpreted and reformed traditional historical culture, transforming it into an available cultural resource and an ideological tool of modern nationalism.Through his imaginational transformation, the tradition possessed a legal position of "cosmopolitanism", surmounting its original narrow local category.

Key words: ancient Greece, people of "nature-culture", cosmopolitanism, modern nation-state
