Published 30 April 2002
An exploration of Ancient Greece, discussing the spectacular achievements of an adventurous civilization. Delve into everyday life to find out what the Greeks ate, where they lived and what clothes were fashionable. The volume examines the gods that they worshipped, the heroes that they admired and the politicians that they despised. Visit an amphitheatre, wander through a market stall, and witness the battles they fought. A variety of practical projects are provided to help bring the past to life - such as reconstructing the Parthenon, making a comic mask and learning the Ancient Greek alphabet. Illustrations include cross-sections, an historical map and a pictorial timeline.
