The ancient Greeks built a dynamic civilization that is the foundation on which many of Western society's subsequent achievements rest. This edition provides a range of information on topics ranging from the military and political events that shaped the Greek world to the effect the Greeks had on the lands they occupied.
it was okay, i didn't find it as interesting as the ancient rome one and found myself skipping a few pages here and there. a lot of history i didn't know yet it felt a little lackluster.
After taking 2 years of Latin in high school, I became intrigued with the ancient Roman & Greek worlds. I picked up this book just to refocus on that time period again. Most interesting to me was reading about how their battles were fought, the way they took on slaves, and the everyday lives of citizens back then. Not really a book you read cover to cover. I found various topics and read these.
