[Naomi Ruth · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. It was an interesting look at how the Greek world has affected various aspects of the Western world.

A perspective worth reading. Not spoiling it. Just read it.

[Bob · Rating 4 out of 5]

Intersting book on the spread of greek culture (as a flame). The title was misleading in that I thought it was about the weapon of the same name. A very good book.

Wonderful and insightful book on the contributions Ancient Greece gave to the modern world
