Ancient Greek civilization, its mythology, wars, philosophy, and culture, has an enduring legacy. This single volume, a spin-off of the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Greece and the Hellenic Tradition, provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the people, places, periods, events, and themes of Ancient Greece. Examining every aspect of the culture from antiquity to the founding of Constantinople in the early Byzantine era, this thoroughly cross-referenced and fully indexed work is written by an international group of scholars and is accessible to both the student and general reader.
