From Publishers Weekly
The author, a classical historian, explores the primitive roots of an influential civilization in this wide-ranging survey of the "archaic" period (750-480 B.C.) of Greece--then some 700 scattered city-states, each bent on achieving self-sufficiency. "Grant's rewarding history turns up many surprises," PW observed .
