The Ancient Greeks: History and Culture from Archaic Times to
the Death of Alexander offers students a comprehensive introduction
to the history and culture of the ancient Greek world for the
period c.800-323 BC. It provides critical background to the key
historical developments of the time: the Persian Wars, the rise of
Athens and its empire in the 5th century and the subsequent
Peloponnesian War, and the emergence of Macedon as a world power
under Philip and Alexander. A chapter dedicated to Sparta provides
students with crucial understanding of this important but enigmatic
kingdom. However, The Ancient Greeks moves beyond political history
to include social sections on women, religion and slaves, offering
extensive coverage of the social and religious environment.
The book is lavishly illustrated, with over 150 maps,
illustrations and photographs, and includes a chronological table
and glossary of key terms. With close referencing to Ancient
Greece: Social and Historical Documents from Archaic Times to the
Death of Alexander (third edition) and accompanied by a companion
website, this volume provides invaluable support for students of
ancient Greek history and civilization, and offers a comprehensive
introduction for the interested reader.
