Charles Freeman's
The Greek Achievement traces the entire course of ancient Greek history across thousands of years--from the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations of the Bronze Age through the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. This brilliant account celebrates the incredible range of Greek achievement: the architectural marvels of the Athenian Acropolis; the birth of drama and the timeless tragedies of
Aeschylus, Euripides, and
Sophocles;
Homer's epics; the philosophical revolutions of
Plato and
Aristotle; and the conquests of
Alexander the Great. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps,
The Greek Achievement paints a sweeping panorama of the ancient Greeks' world and provides a rich, contemporary overview of their enduring contribution to world civilization.
