Synopsis
This chronological narrative covers the Bronze Age to the end of the Roman Empire, with a useful epilogue that traces the Greek experience in medieval and modern times. Frost presents a level of detail that requires no prior background in Greek history. Fascinating anecdotes on the lives of ordinary Greek people help bring the past to life.
