Description: Figures such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar loom large in our imaginations, but they were themselves fascinated by what had preceded them. This book is an authoratative history and an attempt to show how our own changing values and interests have shaped our feelings about an era which is by some measures very remote.
