Product Description

Product Description

The cradle of Western civilisation, Ancient Greece was a land of contradictions and conflict. Intensely quarrelsome and competitive, the Greek city-states consistently proved unwilling and unable to unite. Yet, in spite of or even because of this internal discord, no ancient civilization proved so dynamic or productive. The Greeks not only colonized the Mediterranean and Black Sea areas but set standards of figurative art that endured for nearly 2500 years. Charting topics as diverse as Minoan civilization, The Persian Wars, the Athenian Golden Age and the conquests of Alexander the Great, the book traces the development of this creative and restless people and assesses their impact not only on the ancient world but also on our own attitudes and environment. The authoritative narrative, illustrated with over sixty full colour maps and over seventy plates, makes this an indispensable handbook for history students and enthusiasts alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Ancient Greece, 6 Jul 2004
This book offers a excellent basic view of Ancient Greek History in rougly chonological order, from the earliest farms of 7000 BC to the defeat of Mithridates in 63BC.

Each chapter combines concise explinations supported by a variety of colourful maps, photographs and diagrams to keep the reader interested.

Its a must for anyone new to the subject or those who have a general interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars ancient greece, 10 Sep 2009
a very good overview of ancient Greece from the bronze age to Alexander. There are good maps. However if one wants to pursue any subject in depth one will have to look else where
