Description
Who were the Titans? How did the Greek alphabet evolve? What sort of weapons did the Greek warriors use? Three millennia of life in ancient Greece, from the advent of the Minoan civilization through the rise and fall of numerous city states, the emergence of democracy and the huge expansion of the Greek world under Alexander the Great to the Roman conquest of 30 BCE, are explored in this guide to the history, archaeology, literature and culture of ancient Greece. Chapters covering: civilizations, city-states and empires; rulers and leaders; military affairs; geography of the Greek world; economy, trade and transport; towns and countryside; written evidence; religion and mythology; art, science and philosophy; everyday life. Thematically arranged and easy to follow, each chapter includes an extensive bibliography as well as original line drawings, maps and photographs.
