Recenzje

Morris and Powell offer a rich and clear-eyed journey through the complex world of ancient Greece, including full treatments of the Hellenistic era and the 'coming of Rome' down to the battle of Actium. Careful examinations of historical and cultural cause and effect help us understand why things might have happened in a certain way, while still showing how many open questions remain; discussions of geography, demography, economics, and the experiences of other Mediterranean cultures introduce some of the complicated factors that underlie historical narrative. Morris and Powell help us understand the Greeks-and they also use the Greeks to help us understand history." -Sarah Brown Ferrario, The Catholic University of America
