Inside Ancient Greece: The City States

This five-book series takes an in-depth look at the ancient Greek civilization, considered to be the foundation of Western culture, which flourished in the Mediterranean during the first millennium BCE. From the birth of classical sculpture and poetry to the military campaigns of Alexander, and from the great thinkers such as Socrates and Plato to the development of democracy in the Greek city states, the Ancient Greeks created one of the most advanced and remarkable civilizations in the ancient world.

Ancient Greek civilization had a remarkable influence on the architecture, political structures, philosophy and language in use today, while Greek plays and poetry remain hugely popular artistic forms, almost three millennia after they were written.

Combining clear text with striking artworks and photographs, Inside Ancient Greece is designed to both inspire and stimulate children aged 12-16. With annotated illustrations, data boxes to summarise key information, and a concise glossary, Inside Ancient Greece offers children a fascinating and highly readable introduction to the world of the ancient Greeks.
