Embark upon a fascinating journey through ancient Greece – from its rise and fall to its lasting legacy throughout the Western world.

Spanning more than 3,000 years, Ancient Greece explores the tumultuous history of this glorious empire in vivid detail—from its Minoan and Mycenaean origins to the apogee of the warring city-states of Athens and Sparta, from the death of its most charismatic leader, Alexander the Great, to its ultimate defeat by Rome.

Sumptuous photography and authoritative, engaging text cover every facet of life in ancient Greece, from art, entertainment, and schools of thought to politics, medicine, and war. The myths and religious beliefs of the ancient culture are explored and explained in depth.

Greece’s military and political power shines through in fascinating maps of its legendary battles. Buried palaces and the Athenian Agora, where Plato and Socrates discussed philosophy, are brought back to life with stunning CGI artworks. The stories of everyone from ordinary citizens to lawmakers and the first Olympic athletes are retold through eyewitness accounts and original artefacts.
