Group: Greek Religion by Athina Mitropoulos and Julietta Steinhauer
Democracy and the Athenians by Tim Morrison and James Renshaw Why
was worshipping the gods so important to ancient Greek life? To
what extent did Greeks question religious belief? How and why did
the Athenians invent democracy? How does Athenian democracy compare
with democracy today? Drawing on modern scholarship and using a
wide variety of illustrations, this book guides A-Level students to
a greater understanding of these issues. It explores the
fundamental features of Greek religion, as well as its major
centres such as Delphi and Olympia. It then moves on to analyse the
development and workings of Athenian democracy, as well as
reflecting on ancient critiques of it, both celebratory and
critical. The ideal preparation for the final examinations, all
content is presented by experts and experienced teachers in a clear
and accessible narrative. Ancient literary and visual sources are
described and analysed, with supporting images. Helpful student
features include study questions, quotations from contemporary
scholars, further reading, and boxes focusing in on key people,
events and terms. Practice questions and exam guidance prepare
students for assessment. A Companion Website is available at
www.bloomsbury.com/class-civ-as-a-level.

Greek Art by Athina Mitropoulos and Laura Snook What image did the
ancient Greeks have of themselves and others? How and why were men
and women represented differently in Greek art? To what extent is
modern western ideology still influenced by ancient Greek attitudes
towards the east? This book offers both A-Level students and their
teachers the opportunity to consider these and many other important
questions. The ideas prevalent in fifth-century Athens retain their
powerful influence across the modern world, regardless of whether
we agree that they should. The ideal preparation for the final
examinations, all content is presented by experts and experienced
teachers in a clear and accessible narrative. Ancient literary and
visual sources are described and analysed, with supporting images.
