Civilization today owes much to the ancient Greeks. Greek philosophers, inventors, and mathematicians made contributions to their fields that we still recognize and utilize. This comprehensive but accessible volume offers a wealth of information about the ancient Greeks, including what their homes looked like, how they practiced their religion, what happened when they waged war, and what their theater and sports were like. Both colorful, original artwork and photographs of Greek artifacts aid readers in understanding more about this people and the times in which they lived.
