Publisher's summary

Explora la fascinante historia de la Antigua Grecia

La cultura y los acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar en Grecia fueron tan influyentes que tienen un efecto significativo en la población actual de todo el mundo. Los griegos antiguos crearon la democracia, un sistema político usado frecuentemente y considerado por muchos como la mejor forma de gobierno. Las grandes mentes de Grecia también hicieron increíbles y vitales descubrimientos, como el molino de agua, la geometría básica, y el uso de la medicina para curar enfermedades. Los filósofos de la antigua Grecia establecieron los cimientos de un nuevo campo de pensamiento y estudios. La antigua Grecia inauguró los juegos olímpicos, que aún se celebran regularmente. Figuras históricas particularmente famosas, tales como Alejandro Magno y Cleopatra, también tuvieron lazos con la antigua Grecia y jugaron un papel significativo durante su historia, a través del curso de guerras y la expansión del imperio.

Debido a la influencia de la antigua Grecia, mientras aprendes sobre este periodo y lugar, aprenderás también sobre tu historia y sobre los orígenes de las personas, lugares e instituciones que probablemente estudias de manera regular en la escuela. Empezando en la Edad Oscura, este libro te guiará a lo largo de un emocionante viaje a través de la oscuridad, la democracia, el descubrimiento y el desarrollo de la civilización occidental.

Algunos de los temas que se cubren en este libro incluyen:

• El amanecer de la Edad Oscura
• De la Oscuridad a la Democracia
• Orígenes Olímpicos
• Grecia Crece de Guerra en Guerra

The Greek way!

The book is truly captivating to listen since it is one of the best place I want to visit someday. Greece and the history that evolves itself. The middle ages til the not so present time. A good one to listen when you are up to history.

Engaging History

Interesting guide to Ancient Greece. The portrayal of the great Philosophers and Kings made this book hard to stop listening.

fantastic overview of ancient Greece

Great book for explaining Ancient Greece. Very insightful and helpful book. Excellent information source for a novice as well as an experienced individual. Glad I havoc found it.

Very direct and to the point

I absolutely adore Greek history! When I wanted something more factual than myth (which is hard to do since myth and history are so tightly entwined) I tried this book. Pretty dry for the most part unless you're a Greek history buff like me! I loved it!

understandable

This book will provide you will a solid overview of Ancient Greece. Don't expect to be an expert on Greece but you will greatly enhance you overall knowledge and this book can be completed in a couple of days.

it gets for general history

This book delivers. It's a great overview that doesn't dwell too much on any one subject but covers everything equally well. Its all here: geography, economy, war, religion, philosophy. Great intro to one of histories most fascinating civilizations.

Learned a lo

Of course, the main attraction of the book is that the Greek civilization was so fascinating, and that there is much in our own time that comes straight from them, so it's easy to feel empathy with the Greeks.

Ancient Greece!

This is a guide for me especially that I am learning the language itself. Greece is one of the best place I want to visit someday. Knowing its history and best places to visit through this book is a fascinating one!

Just as expected

Excellent book about Ancient Greek History, very interesting and pleasant to read and find valuable information about Ancient Greek culture and history.

Good into to the ancient Greek

Too often history books focus on what the leadership or major figures are doing exclusively, completely neglecting what it would have been like to be a Greek. Readers will get a real sense for what it would have been like to be a Greek while listening this audiobook. That would have to be its greatest merit, in my view.
