Book
Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece traces Greek history from the centuries after the collapse of the Mycenaean world through the rise of the city-states and into the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It covers political experiments in Athens and Sparta, warfare, religion, philosophy, art and literature, as well as the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. The book shows how separate Greek communities created a shared cultural world whose influence continued long after their political independence declined.
