On the culture that brought us democracy, the Olympics, Socrates,
and Alexander the Great, this lavishly illustrated reference about
ancient Greece presents the amazing history through gripping
stories; maps of major battles and the rise and fall of the
phenomenal empire; the powerful legacy left by ancient Greece for
the modern world; and the new discoveries shedding light on these
ancient people that are still so much with us. Even today, Greek
art and architecture dominate our cities; modern military
strategists still study and employ Hellenic war tactics; Greek
poetry, plays, and philosophy are widely read and enjoyed; and
science, mathematics, medicine, and astronomy all build on the
fundamentals of early Greek thinking. Readers will learn of
spectacular discoveries such as the Uluburun shipwreck, the
earliest writing ever found in Europe, and buried palaces. A
stunning treasure, this book is a must-read for the history buff,
casual scholar, and anyone with a curious mind.
