Beginning with the Aegean civilisation uncovered at Knossos and Mycenae, J. C. Stobart moves through the Heroic Age, the colonies and tyrants, the Persian wars, the Athenian empire and its art, and the culture that spread after Alexander. He writes for the general reader, weaving politics, architecture, sculpture and literature into one story.
