Great Ages Of Man - Classical Greece
by Bowra, C M
Great Ages of Man: Classical Greece: A History of the World's Cultures, Time Life Books is a beautiful collection of eight heavily illustrated essays from the early years of Greek civilization, through its "dark age" and wars, to Alexander and the aftermath of the Empire.
Covering from 1200 bc to 330 bc, this text also includes appendices and timelines to help make sense of one of the major influences of western civilization.

Classical Greece is one of twenty-one volumes from the Time-Life book series Great Ages of Man. This series is a history of the world's cultures. As with other books in this series, Classical Greece has numerous illustrations and maps which supplement the narrative.This volume presents the political and military history of Ancient Greece with an emphasis on Athens and Sparta. Social history and early Greek drama and philosophy are also covered. The reference section is especially useful as it describes the heroes of Greek mythology as well as great and famous Greek statesmen, philosophers, poets, artists, and scientists. I used this book when I taught Ancient Greek history and Greek mythology to my middle school students. Ideal for teachers or readers wanting a basic introduction to the birthplace of democracy, drama, philosophy, and the Olympic games. Highly recommended.
