Greek People

Greek People, Second Edition, is an insightful introduction to the world of ancient Greece from Homer to the Hellenistic Age. Extracts from original sources such as Hesiod, the lyric poets, Herodotus, and records from the Athenian law courts profile a wide variety of Greek people - some famous, many little known but well worth singling out. The second edition includes an improved and expanded illustration program, an extensive updated bibliography, additional and redrawn maps, and new material on Alexander and Philip, married life, women, Greek humor, and views on old age in ancient Greek society.
