The View From Olympus
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a marvellous series of short essays on the leading figures of Greek life, from Homer to Sappho to Pericles (and his girlfriend) to Aristotle. In the tradition of classical Greek (as opposed to Hellenic) history, it ends with Alexander. A sort of extended "Who's Who" for the period.
The perfect companion for the video
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Focusing in the lifes of remarkable Greeks, this series (book and video) makes the Greek civilization accessible to us. Indispensable to anybody interested in the Greek culture.
A lively, engaging, compelling story of Greek history.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The Greeks examines life in the ancient Hellenic world: an era when the foundations of modern science and politics were laid. Based on a three-hour PBS series airing February, this provides a lively story of Greek experience through the eyes and experiences of her heroes and heroines in an excellent, involving account which comes alive. Highly recommended as a strong alternative to the usual dry Greek history.
