Do you want to explore the energizing and stunning story of Ancient Greece? This history book will unpack the brilliant people, the astonishing wars, and the enchanting legacy of the ancient Greeks, from the Archaic era through to the Hellenistic period.


Exploring ancient Greece's history is spectacularly inspiring. The Greeks gave us our foundational concepts of geometry, our first astronomical models, the beginnings of modern medicine, and our understanding of democracy. Greek sculptures, paintings, and mosaics captured the human form realistically and movingly - like nothing ever seen before. The ancient Greeks were a powerhouse of all things new!

This book unlocks the door to an ancient past reaching through time to touch all parts of our lives. We will follow the Greeks as they developed democracy and employed innovative tactics in epic wars. We will learn how Alexander the Great conquered a mammoth swathe of the known world. We will discern what Greek philosophers taught about life and how to live it.

This thoroughly researched and compelling narrative vividly presents an extraordinary insight into ancient Greece.
