What to expect

In this compact yet comprehensive history of ancient Greece, Thomas R. Martin brings alive Greek civilization from its Stone Age roots to the fourth century BC. Focusing on the development of the Greek city-state and the society, culture, and architecture of Athens in its Golden Age, Martin integrates political, military, social, and cultural history in a book that will appeal to students and general readers alike.

Now in its second edition, this classic work now features updates throughout.

Critics Review

  • “A limpidly written, highly accessible, and comprehensive history…This concise but wide-ranging narrative…[is] a highly readable account of ancient Greece, particularly useful as an introductory or review text for the student or the general reader.”

    Kirkus Reviews, praise for the first edition
  • “A polished and informative work that will be useful for general readers and students.”
