Should be the example for other history books
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
That is the best written history book I've read. The book really kept me concentrated on it for a long time with it's lively and information-rich structure. Book deals with nearly all aspects of life in Athens: political, economical, art, religious, classes, slaves, important people at the time. I would recommend to anyone who likes history generally or anybody who wants a good intro to ancient greeks especially Athens.
One of the best reference books I own

"The World of Athens" presents a history of Athens in a well organized format. Covers all aspects of Athenian history from geography to wars to politics. It is one of my most valued reference books.
Good resource for Athenian society
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
While this book covers the usual subjects like geography, religion, social apects, the wars etc., it gives enough information on everything to be the one book on classical Athens that you should have as a reference guide to further study. I used this booking when studying 5th century Athens and found that other books added to the information I got from it, but did not equal or replace its content.
