This excellent history of Ancient Greece reveals how day-to-day life was in the capital city of Athens, the Greeks' artistic and cultural achievements, plus its military triumphs.

In her well-researched overview of one of the greatest civilizations of antiquity, Dorothy Mills' discusses the different facets of Greek society, together with the defining historical events and attainments. The famous pantheon of Gods, and the establishment of the Olympic games are accompanied by accounts of the colonies in Southern Italy and Asia Minor. Ideas of governance, including its famous system of democracy, are described alongside the civilization's martial prowess: the military of the Greeks introduced dedicated divisions of cavalry and the famous hoplites, and advanced siege warfare.

Great heroes and intellectuals are discussed. Examples include Aristotle, a pioneer of legal and ethical philosophy, and Alexander the Great, a military commander who led his forces as far east as India. Finally, Mills' discusses the scientific legacy left by thinkers such as Archimedes, and the towering influence Greece and its ideas had on civilizations which followed.

This edition of Mills' history includes a variety of illustrations and photographs. These showcase the architectural and artistic styles of ancient Greece, with iconic buildings such as the Acropolis and the Great Theatre of Epidaurus featured.
