    5.0 out of 5 stars The Greeks: History, Culture, and Society
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2015
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a most interesting and informative, as well as entertainingly readable book which offers a history of the Greek people, but also their culture and society from the very earliest times to the coming of Rome in 30 BC. This is an invaluable book for anyone wanting to learn more, or study Greek history. The layout of the book is as follows:

    Chapter 6: Homer
    Chapter 7: Religion and Myth
    Chapter 8: Archaic Greece, 800-480 BC: Economy, Society, Politics
    Chapter 9: The Archaic Cultural Revolution, 700-480 BC
    Chapter 10: A Tale of two Archaic cities: Sparta and Athens, 700-480 BC

    Chapter 20: The Warlords of Macedon II: Alexander the God
    Chapter 21: The Greek Kingdoms in the Hellenistic Century, 323-220 BC
    Chapter 22: The Greek Poleis in the Hellenistic Century, 323-220 BC
    Chapter 23: Hellenestic Culture, 323-30 BC
    Chapter 24: The Coming of Rome, 220-30 BC
    Chapter 25: Conclusion

    At well over 500 pages, this book offers a really comprehensive first view, or additional insight into areas of Greek social, cultural, political and military history. There are lots of diagrams and drawings, photographs and maps to supplement the chapters, each of which is well divided into subsections to allow for easy digestion of the information provided. Definitely recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Why look (much) further?
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 December 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is an absolutely excellent textbook on the Ancient Greeks. One would be hard pressed to find a better, more thorough or enjoyable accounting of the Greeks under one cover. What really sets this book apart to me though is that it is rarely dry - history does not need to be so! and Morris & Powell render their history of the Greeks beautifully - their narrative is both compelling written and clear (a beautiful marriage indeed). The narrative is not simply the authors' voices either - the text is judiciously interspersed with primary texts of all types. So, in sum - this is a superb book that deserves to be on your shelf (read with enjoyment).
