From theatre to politics, no other single civilisation has influenced the Western world more profoundly than that of ancient Greece.
From the roots of democracy to philosophy and mathematics, it’s fascinating to learn how much western civilisation has stemmed from that of ancient Greece. This book offers an introduction to the lives of the ancient Greeks, their mythologies and traditions and their culture and learning.
