Greece

James Duff Duff

0/5 ( ratings)

Greece is a companion volume to the paperback edition of Rome, & with it comprises the greater part of Rostovzeff's major work, A History of the Ancient World. From the appearance of prehistoric Aegean settlements, thru the rise of the city states, to the diffusion of Hellenistic culture after the conquests of Alexander, Greek history is recounted & set in the larger perspective of ancient Mediterranean civilization. Told from the point of view of historian, archeologist & connoisseur, Greece isn't only an exact study but also an appreciation of that civilization which "still lives, as the foundation of all the chief manifestations of modern culture."
For this paperback edition, Elias J. Bickerman has completed a new comprehensive bibliography & emended the text & chronology in accordance with contemporary research. The maps have been redrawn to conform with recent scholarship. The 37 plates include photographs of newly discovered material as well as many illustrations retained from the original edition.
