The Cambridge Illustrated History of Ancient Greece (Cambridge Illustrated Histories)
"We are all Greeks..."    Shelley"Whatever, in fact, is modern in our life we owe to the Greeks. Whatever is an anachronism is due to medievalism."    Oscar Wilde"The focus on achievements at all class and cultural levels provides an unusually well-rounded, in-depth focus on Greek culture."    The Midwest Book Review"...no one reading this book will fail to appreciate the complexity of ancient Greece as a society, a competitive, high achieving, innovative world....We have grown up in our understanding of Greeks since the nineteenth century and this book shows how much. A fine achievement."    Charles Freeman, History Today"...this is a good tool for intro survey courses."     Brad L. Cook, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"...a thoughtful portrait of the cultural history of ancient Greece for the general reader...this is an interesting and handsome book that might bring new students to the field with its updated approach to an ancient culture."     John M. Lawless, New England Classical Journal"A beautiful addition to the Cambridge Illustrated History series."     Peter Krentz, Religious Studies Review"This is an original and insightful work. Its authors have lucidly synthesized the results of a generation of creative scholarship, and restored the voices of many groups that were often left out of more traditional Greek histories."     Stanley Burstein, The International History Review
