heroes and gods and the legacy of their civilization. Here is a
spectacular and informative guide to the glories of ancient Greece.
Superb color photographs of armor, jewelry, temples and much more

and achievements of the ancient Greek civilization. See the golden
mask of Agamemnon, the luxurious palaces of Crete, an armed hoplite
ready to do battle, the Parthenon Frieze, what a Greek family wore,
and what the inside of a Greek farmhouse looked like. Learn how Greek
athletes did the long jump, how Odysseus escaped from the cave of the
Cyclops, how to play the Greek game of kottabos, who discovered Troy,
and why Socrates drank hemlock. Discover the origins of the
Hippocratic oath, what toys Greek children played with, the layout of
a typical Greek home, the range of the conquests of Alexander the
Great, who the Greek gods were, and much, much more!
