The Greeks

by K.J. Dover

Published to accompany a BBC TV series, this book presents a personal, opinionated and chatty introduction to the history and culture of the Greeks. It does not have the formal structure of other studies; instead it follows Dover's train of thought, which is often distracted, through Greece's contacts with others, its politics, scultpure, painting, literature and philosophy. Richly illustrated, this interesting book serves as a good introduction.
