Description

---

The book presents, in an innovative and effective way, a detailed coverage of Greek history from the period of colonisation through to the death of Alexander the Great. A prologue introduces the reader to the various types of source material used by historians and, wherever possible, the most relevant examples of this, both written and archaeological, have been provided or referred to, giving the benefit of first-hand contact with the sources. The books contains many photographs, maps and diagrams, and included time lines, summaries, mapping exercises and study questions through which the reader comes to grips with the major issues.
