Divided into two main sections - A History of Greece and Culture and Society - this newly revised edition provides a wide range of information on several topics. The first section presents historic military and political events that shaped the Greek world, including the siege of Troy, the warlike Spartans, and Alexander the Great's campaigns. The second section details the effect the Greeks had on the lands they occupied. Full-page maps that orient readers in the geographical context begin this section and help the reader put the civilization into its geographical context. Discussions of such topics as the ancient Olympic games, painting on pottery, and everyday life in Athens follow.
