Mahaffy synthesizes perspectives from Greek literature, history, and archaeology to provide the reader with a more holistic understanding of Greek civilization. The author's nuanced approach provides both a sweeping overview of the major domains of ancient Greek life and a meticulous examination of its cultural and political developments. This book refrains from the panegyrics common during the nineteenth century by presenting an even-handed assessment of the Greeks' strengths and weaknesses, revealing their profound influence upon Western civilization and their ongoing relevance for readers today.
