SynopsisThis lushly-illustrated, uniquely comprehensive and accessible history of Ancient Greece is perfect for history lovers and anyone interested in the origins of our modern world, On the culture that brought us democracy, the Olympics, Socrates, and Alexander the Great, this lavishly illustrated reference about ancient Greece presents the amazing history through gripping stories; the rise and fall of the phenomenal empire; the powerful legacy left by ancient Greece for the modern world; and the new discoveries shedding light on these ancient people that are still so much with us. Even today, Greek art and architecture dominate our cities; modern military strategists still study and employ Hellenic war tactics; Greek poetry, plays, and philosophy are widely read and enjoyed; and science, mathematics, medicine, and astronomy all build on the fundamentals of early Greek thinking. Included are fascinating insights into Greek island living, ancient social networking, and the extreme priority Greeks placed on athletic competition (warring city-states declared truces during the Olympic games). Learn of spectacular discoveries such as the Uluburun shipwreck, the earliest writing ever found in Europe, and buried palaces. A stunning treasure, this lushly-illustrated, uniquely comprehensive and accessible history of Ancient Greece is perfect for anyone interested in the origins of our modern world.

Great book at an amazing price
This is a gorgeous book from National Geographic that covers so much more than just the history of ancient Greece. It is really a cultural exploration of all of the aspects of the ancient Greeks that made them so famous that we still read about them today. The book is written for everyone in the family, not just children and not just adults. It is also a nice gift because it's so elegant. It's a little small for a coffee table book but it is a very pretty hardback. This is written as a companion to the three-part series called The Greeks shown in 2016 on PBS.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
