A history of the classical world : the story of Ancient Greece and Rome
Wyse, Elizabeth, 1957-2022
Books
In 8th century BCE Greece, Homer penned some of history's most epic poetry, heralding the start of what has come to be known as the age of classical antiquity. First Greece and then Rome developed complex societies, impactful cultures, and empires that reached throughout Europe into Africa and Asia. Their influence was profound, changing the face of the places they conquered and settled. This wide-ranging history explores the immense power and sophistication of ancient Greece and Rome. The formal idea of democracy, the Olympic Games, 'classical' forms of architecture, and some of the greatest sculpture all date from this period.
