Theatre, sculpture, the Olympics, and democracy: Ancient Greece paved the way for modern civilization. Its stories-about Oedipus, Hercules, and the Odyssey-still thrill us today.
But what about the ancient Greek world makes it so pivotal? Why, thousands of years later, does it still captivate our imaginations, not to mention form the basis for streams of legal and political proceedings?
Maybe you're curious about the origins of science and medicine or the true story behind myths like the Trojan War and legends like Alexander the Great-stories still alive and the subject of major motion pictures thousands of years later.
The cultural legacy of the Greeks was so significant that even Rome, who conquered Greece, assimilated much of their culture, adopting Greece's political traditions as their own. Encompassing art, mythology, science, and history, Greek civilization laid the groundwork for many elements of contemporary life.
In this book, you'll explore Ancient Greece's history, culture, and politics. In a concise, entertaining, and easy-to-read narrative, you'll discover:

Whether you're looking for an introduction to Ancient Greece or a new source of study, this book will give you a clear overview of the Hellenistic world and the significant figures, events, and ideas that influenced it.
