Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of discoveries about ancient Greece by the renowned scholar John Pentland Mahaffy. Mahaffy synthesizes perspectives from Greek literature, history, and archaeology to provide the reader with a more holistic understanding of Greek civilization.
