Ancient Greece by Mike Paine
Western civilization began with the Greeks. From the highpoint of the 5th century BC through the cultural triumphs of the Alexandrian era to their impact on the developing Roman empire, the Greeks shaped the philosophy, art, architecture and literature of the Mediterranean world. In this Pocket Essential, Mike Paine provides a concise and well-informed narrative of many centuries of Greek history. He highlights the careers of great political and military leaders like Pericles and Alexander the Great and shows the importance of the great philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. Dramatists and demagogues, stoics and epicureans, aristocrats and helots take their places in the unfolding story of the Greek achievement.
Mike Paine works as a bookseller, writer and musician in North London. He has written on Thomas Bernhard and Blaise Pascal, amongst others, and has played guitar for P.J. Harvey.
