The Greeks
The Greeks
has provided a concise yet wide-ranging introduction to the culture of
ancient Greece. In this new and expanded third edition, the best-selling volume offers
a lucid survey that covers all the key elements of ancient Greek civilization from the
age of Homer to the Hellenistic period. It provides detailed discussions of the main
trends in literature and drama, philosophy, art and architecture, with generous
reference to original sources, and places ancient Greek culture firmly in its political,
social and historical context.
The new edition has expanded coverage of the post-Classical period with major
expansions in the areas of Hellenistic history, literature and philosophy. More
emphasis is placed on the Greek world as a whole, especially on Sparta, and the focus
on social history has been increased.
The Greeks
is an indispensable introduction for
all students of Classics, and an invaluable guide for students of other disciplines who
require grounding in Greek civilization.
