The Greeks has provided a concise yet wide-ranging introduction to
the culture of ancient Greece. In this new and expanded third
edition the best-selling volume offers a lucid survey that covers
all the key elements of ancient Greek civilization from the age of
Homer to the Hellenistic period. It provides detailed discussions
of the main trends in literature and drama, philosophy, art and
architecture, with generous reference to original sources, and
places ancient Greek culture firmly in its political, social and
historical context. The new edition has expanded coverage of the
post-Classical period with major expansions in the areas of
Hellenistic history, literature and philosophy. More emphasis is
placed on the Greek world as a whole, especially on Sparta, and the
focus on social history has been increased. The Greeks is an
indispensable introduction for all students of Classics, and an
invaluable guide for students of other disciplines who require
grounding in Greek civilization.
