| Description: |
A concise, yet wide-ranging introduction to the culture of ancient Greece for students and for interested non-specialists. Covers literature, drama, philosophy and art and provides social and historical context, as well as maps and charts. |
| Synopsis: |
This work is an introductory survey of ancient Greek literature, history, philosophy and art from the age of Homer to the end of the classical period. It is a concise study that familiarizes the reader with all the crucial elements of ancient Greek civilization. Robin Sowerby draws on contemporary trends in scholarship, considering questions of method and discussing important issues in the social structure of ancient Greece, such as the position of slaves and of women. He includes an extensive bibliography that should assist the reader in further study. Written in an accessible style and illustrated with photographs and maps, this is a textbook for A-level classical civilization and first-year undergraduate courses. It should also serve as a guide to students of other disciplines, such as art, literature or history, who require a grounding in all aspects of Greek civilization. |
