A Brief History of Ancient Greece by Sarah B Pomeroy

A Brief History of Ancient Greece by Sarah B Pomeroy

This is the second edition of Sarah Pomeroy et al.'s shorter ancient Greek history course, ideal for Greek civilization or ancient history courses, but also sometimes used in Greek history classes. Like the larger Pomeroy text, the book covers the Bronze Age (c. 3000 BC) down to the Hellenistic Period (3rd century BC), but it does so in broader strokes.

Sarah B. Pomeroy is Distinguished Professor of Classics and History, Emerita, at Hunter College and the Graduate School of the City University of New York. She is widely recognized as a pioneer in the field of Women's History and has changed the paradigm in the field of Classical Studies. Her many publications about Greek and Roman women and ancient history include Goddesses, Whores, Wives, and Slaves: Women in Classical Antiquity; Women in Hellenistic Egypt from Alexander to Cleopatra; Xenophon Oeconomicus: A Social and Historical Commentary; Families in Classical and Hellenistic Greece: Representations and Realities; Spartan Women; The Murder of Regilla. A Case of Domestic Violence in Antiquity; and Pythagorean Women: Their Lives and Their Writing. Her books have been translated into Italian, Spanish, German, and Chinese. Professor Pomeroy has been awarded fellowships from the Ford Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She is an Honorary Fellow of St. Hilda's College, the University of Oxford, has been elected to the American Philosophical Society, and has lectured all over the world, from Alexandria to Australia. She wrote this book for her seven grandchildren.

Jeyaraney Kathirithamby was a Rhodes Visiting Fellow and is an entomologist at the Department of Zoology and St. Hugh's College, University of Oxford.
