Review
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Why look (much) further?By David FowlerThis is an absolutely excellent textbook on the Ancient Greeks. One would be hard pressed to find a better; more thorough or enjoyable accounting of the Greeks under one cover. What really sets this book apart to me though is that it is rarely dry - history does not need to be so! and Morris Powell render their history of the Greeks beautifully - their narrative is both compelling written and clear (a beautiful marriage indeed). The narrative is not simply the authors' voices either - the text is judiciously interspersed with primary texts of all types. So; in sum - this is a superb book that deserves to be on your shelf (read with enjoyment).32 of 32 people found the following review helpful. An intelligent and engaging textbookBy Jack DonnelllyTextbooks have; deservedly; a bad reputation. Morris and Powell have written a textbook that is also a pleasure to read. This truly fine book covers the full range of material; but with style and flair. It is also well illustrated and makes very effective use of original source material. And their use of what they call "the Greek problem" -- how to organize social life "withough God or gods to reveal" a pattern -- is extremely effective. There are a number of good overview introductory books out there on the Greeks; but none better. The only drawback is a fairly hefty pricetag.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
