.Ancient Greece: A Political, Social and Cultural History
City Travel Guides > Books > Ancient Greek
by: Sarah B. Pomeroy, Stanley M. Burstein, Walter Donlan, Jennifer Tolbert Roberts

May 18, 2000
One of the best things about this book is that it's current and up to date on the most recent dicoveries in ancient Greek history. It provides the reader with a clear and organized history of Greece which both the novice and student can appreciate. It also includes great original sources, which are sometimes difficult to come by, and excellent maps. This is a great review for pulling all the facts together.

.Athenian Democracy (Inside the Ancient World)
City Travel Guides > Books > Ancient Greek
by: Robin Barrow

January 01, 1996
I have just completed my AS course in Classical Studies, including a module on the topic of Athenian Democracy. This book provided relevent information in a clearly presented, easy-to-read format, and would be a must have for Classics departments teaching Athenian Democracy. It's only failing was that it did not go into quite the amount of depth required at AS level, and would possibly be better suited for GCSE courses, however, as a teaching resource, its only competitor is John Thorley's book (another invaluable tool!), so get both of them for two different views on the Athenian democratic system.

.A History of Byzantium: 306-1453 (Blackwell History of the Ancient World)
City Travel Guides > Books > Ancient Greek
by: Timothy Gregory

January 07, 2005
This book will serve to show to the wider public what a high level Byzantine Studies have finally reached. They have gone a long way from Gibbon's polemics (informed more by prejudice than facts and sound analysis) to become the highly sophisticated and interesting subject Timothy Gregory showcases in this book.

The book covers the period from 306 to 1453. It is interesting to note that Gregory sets the formal beginning of the Byzantine period at 306 rather than any of the more usual later dates. This allows for a better examination of the context within which Byzantium developed. On the other hand, Early Byzantine Period is here defined to be the period between 306-717, which is longer than that considered by other historians ... Read More:

.Medea (Vintage Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Ancient Greek
by: Euripides

March 06, 2008
This is a very helpful commentary for anyone wanting to read Medea in the original ancient greek. The reviews above seem to refer to another book. This commentary has the greek text but no translations so the remarks about a translation are misleading.
