"Of dozens of books on Greece, this enthusiastic, tolerant, and eminently readable volume is the one I recommend as an introduction."
?New Leader (London)
"My Greeks were neither sophisticated layabouts nor pious fatalists, and least of all were they portentous gurus brooding over the lost Secrets of the Ancients. They were a resilient, sceptical, cheeky people, whose distinctive contribution to our history was to combine a readiness to ask 'Why?' and 'Why not?' with a conviction that only sane, reasoned and clearly expounded answers to those questions were worth listening to." In this book, Kenneth Dover introduces the people and culture of ancient Greece.

Laid in article about a Oxford historian that committed suicide. First Edition. Published to accompany a BBC TV series, this book presents a personal, opinionated and chatty introduction to the history and culture of the Greeks. It does not have the formal structure of other studies; instead it follows Dover's train of thought, which is often distracted, through Greece's contacts with others, its politics, sculpture, painting, literature and philosophy.
