Modern Western European culture would have been impossible without
the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. The disciplines of
philosophy, drama, history, and science all owe an immense debt to
these two Mediterranean cultures. At the same time, there are
aspects of this legacy that are less worthy of celebration. Slavery
went hand in hand with democracy. The pursuit of beauty coexisted
with breathtaking acts of brutality. This book explores the world
of the ancient Greeks and Romans and the distinctive cultures they
produced. It charts the rise and fall of empires as well as
examining the intricacies of domestic life. The opening sections of
the book give a chronological overview of the ancient world. They
orientate the reader to the key places, actors, and historical
trends. The remaining chapters focus on some of the most important
and influential aspects of Greco-Roman culture including ancient
festivals, art, architecture, religion, and medicine.
