From the Battle of Marathon to the Minotaur, from the Acropolis to
Aristotle, from Theseus to the Theban hegemony, from slavery to
Sparta, The Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece is a fascinating fully
illustrated reference work, spanning both political history,
society, wars, art, architecture, culture, philosophy and
mythology. Covering the founding of the Minoan civilization on
Crete in the 3rd millennium BCE, Mycenaean Greece in the 2nd
millennium, the Greek Dark Ages and the heights of Athenian
civilization in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, the book expertly
examines a wide range of aspects of the civilization that is
considered to be the foundation of Western culture. Thousands of
years later we can easily identify the influences of ancient Greece
in modern politics, society and architecture, its mythical tales
are still recounted and their patterns can be spotted throughout
modern literature, television and film. Featuring more than 400
colour photographs and artworks, The Encyclopedia of Ancient Greece
is an accessibly written exploration, reaching from siege warfare
to Socrates, public sacrifice to public festivals to the
Peloponnesian War.
