520			_aA fascinating, accessible, and up-to-date history of the Ancient Greeks. Covering the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, and centred around the disunity of the Greeks, their underlying cultural unity, and their eventual political unification. This is an exciting and rich narrative account of the cradle of Western civilisation. It highlights the key achievements of the Greeks, including the birth of democracy, tragedy, philosophy, and science. Engaging and comprehensive, this book provides more detail and a larger chronological scope than most general histories of ancient Greece.
