Synopsis:

The greatest name in popular classical scholarship sheds light on one of history's most creative eras and civilizations: the ancient Greeks between 1000 and 494 B.C. During this time, among other landmarks the introduction of the Phoenician alphabet enabled the recording of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. The world Grant introduces goes beyond the boundaries of modern Greece to Asia Minor, Italy, Sicily, and Russia, and he includes compelling discussions of the economic and social roles of slaves and women. A captivating and highly original perspective on an extraordinary culture.

Book Description: Phoenix Press 1997-01-01, 1997. PAPERBACK. Book Condition: New. 1842122657 The fifth century BC is often spoken of as Greece's `Golden Age' in both political and cultural terms. However in this book, Michael Grant sets out to remind us that the preceding 500 years were equally remarkable in their own way. This was the period before Athens rose to domination, when there were many hundreds of independent city-states; Grant examines policies, government and everyday life in many of them, providing us with a detailed overview of the Greek world, in a period too often overlooked. 391p, b/w illus (1987, Phoenix Pb 1997, Phoenix Pb 2001). 9781842122655.
