A beautifully illustrated guide to rich and fascinating history of the civilization of ancient Greece, from the region's first settlers to the beginning of the Roman empire. There are five sections, each considering a different period of ancient Greek history, and containing chapters on religion, the Olympic Games, poetry, theater, and warfare. The book describes the lives of families in the home and of the gods on Mount Olympus, and is illustrated with full-color photos of ancient monuments and artifacts. The eye-catching 12-page fold-out timeline, which can be detached for wall display, unfolds over the same thousand years of history as the book, presenting a vivid account of the major events, achievements, and personalities of the ancient Greek world.
