5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant introduction to the ancient Greeks, 9 Nov 2008

By	J. H. Bretts "jerard1" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author's enthusiasm for her subject is extremely infectious. She brings the ancient Greeks wonderfully to life, covering an awful lot of territory in a very short space.Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent synopsis of ancient Greece, 5 Jun 2009

By	A. Theodossiadis "Alekos" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Charlotte Higgins has produced an excellent enchiridion. It is readable, informative and thought-provoking. It encompasses the essentials of Greek history and culture. This would be valuable as an introduction to the topic, but it also provides new insights for those who are already informed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A triumph, 25 Mar 2009

By	Oliver Bailey (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Informative, entertaining and beautifully written, this book tells you everything you need to know about Ancient Greece and leaves you inspired to find out more. The writer is hugely knowledgeable about her subject but writes with a charm and ease that manages to make even Plato intelligible.

It should do more for Greece than Mamma Mia!

2.0 out of 5 stars A good intro
Decent enough introduction to a rigidly classical classical Greece (almost exclusively fifth century) although not so memorable as to be with me only one month after reading.
