excellence

some reviews say the voice is robotic. i didn't find it to bad. the production was more of a complaint with parts occasionally getting louder but don't let it distract from an incredible and brief telling of ancient Greece. incredibly informative and interesting. great work!

A good introduction

This is a very brief introduction to the history of ancient Greece, but still it presents the main ideas and developments of those societies. The book is enriched by the use of a vast amount of quotes from ancient sources.
