This book is about much more than the "glory that was Greece'. Each of the fourteen distingished contributors describes a particular aspect of Greek culture, and then shows what later generations have made of this vauable inheritance. The result is a lucid and down-to-the earth introduction to how the ancient Greeks lived and thought and to their influence on the world we know today. Topics covered include politics, literature, history, education, philosophy, science, myth, art and architecture.
