Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Ancient Greece, beginning with the gods of Olympus and ending with the rise of Alexander the Great. It is a tale of a small, mountainous, peninsula that was the birthplace of some of the greatest minds in human history. Listeners will hear how its beautiful setting of steep mountains, wooded glens, and navigable seas led to the growth of distinct communities with their own local gods, laws, and customs. It will describe the cultural, political, and social developments that mark the history of the Ancient Greek world, from the rise of the city-states to the coming of the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars. The author shows how Greece's physical environment influenced its political and cultural development, and how the Greeks' beliefs about the gods and the afterlife shaped their art, literature, and philosophy.
