Ancient Greeks: Creating the Classical Tradition

Ancient Greeks: Creating the Classical Tradition
256 pages

The influence of ancient Greek civilization has been felt throughout modern Western history.

Greek ideas can be found in the laws that govern our lives, the buildings in which we live, the books we read, and the vocabulary we use every day.

Because these ideas have become so much a part of our daily life, we tend to forget that they originated more than 2,500 years ago.

Ancient Greeks chronicles the lives and accomplishments of Greek figures whose influence continues to be felt today.

In 42 essays, authors Rosalie and Charles Baker explore the lives of many personalities, from the most famous Greeks to people who are usually overlooked.
