Life in Ancient GreeceAncient Greek civilization may have flourished thousands of years ago, but in many ways it is still with us today. From the birth of democracy, to the beauty of poetry, to the physical competition of the Olympic Games, Life in Ancient Greece explores the many enduring aspects of the people who lived on this small Aegean peninsula. Great leaders such as Alexander the Great, Greek gods and goddesses, and important historical events such as the Peloponnesian War and the rise of Athens and Sparta are also featured. |
