Voices from Ancient Greece: Sources for Greek History, Society, and
Culture provides students with an engaging exploration of one of
the most influential ancient civilizations of the world. Through
translated ancient text discussing historical events and social and
cultural practices, readers learn about aspects of ancient Greece
that are often overlooked, including traveling practices, the
interaction between different social groups, and the perception of
foreigners, and also gain insight into the ancient Greeks' hopes,
dreams, fears, and prejudices. The sources within this book are
organized thematically, allowing readers to easily explore Greek
authors' responses to important cultural and social issues, many of
which remain top of mind today, including gender equality, sexual
discrimination, the value of education, and the role religion plays
in our daily lives. Introductory paragraphs to each ancient source
add rich context to the readings and also offer a number of clues
that students may use to assess the ancient source's historical
reliability. Presenting the ancient Greeks in a highly relatable
and humanistic light, Voices from Ancient Greece is ideal for
courses on the history, culture, and writings of ancient Greece.
