About This Book

A sweeping illustrated survey traces the development of Hellenic civilisation from prehistoric settlements through palace-centred cultures to the later city-state era, examining archaeology, art, sculpture, pottery, architecture, religion, literature, drama, philosophy, coinage, civic institutions, social life and warfare. The narrative synthesises archaeological evidence and scholarly debate to outline artistic styles, ritual practices, political forms and everyday customs, and is supported by numerous plates, diagrams and explanatory notes to offer a panoramic yet accessible overview for general readers and students.
