Step back in time 3,000 years to the shores of the eastern Mediterranean where one of the most enduring and influential civilizations of the Western world is emerging. Ancient Greece was made up of a number of self-supporting city-states, each of which developed a strong, individual identity. They developed from an agricultural society that wrote in simple pictograms into a sophisticated culture. Centuries on, the Greek legacy survives in modern society. The origins of democracy, mathematics, medicine, and philosophy can be traced back to this time in history. Immerse yourself in this ancient but curiously modern world, mingle with its gods, rulers, and military heroes, and sample its clothes, plays, foods, marketplaces, and street life. This book is your ticket to Ancient Greece in all of its grandeur and vitality.

Tales of the Dead: Ancient Greece is actually two books in one! It's a fact-packed reference work and a fast-paced fiction title seamlessly designed in a single volume. Young readers will love the exciting story of Greek society that snakes through the pages, the incredibly detailed illustrations, and the supporting non-fiction information that tells all the cool and sometimes grisly details of life in Ancient Greece.

Ancient Greece was a civilization that still fascinates us today. It was a world of gods and goddesses, of fabulous pageantry and splendor, and of beauty and grace. Even though it existed thousands of years ago, ancient Greece is very much alive for us right now. People still read the story of Odysseus and his long journey home, study Greek society because it was the birthplace of democracy, and even visit Greece itself to walk among the ruins of once-glorious buildings like the Parthenon. What was it like to live in ancient Greece? What was it like to be a boy or girl there? What did they eat? How did they dress? Where did they live? The answers to these questions might surprise you!
