The contribution of the Ancient Greeks to modern western culture is incalculable.          In the worlds of art, architecture, myth, literature, and philosophy, the world we        live in would be unrecognizably different without the formative influence of Ancient        Greek models.Ancient Greek civilization was defined by the city - in Greek, the        polis, from which we derive 'politics'. It is above all this feature of Greek        civilization that has formed its most enduring legacy, spawning such key terms as        aristocracy, oligarchy, tyranny and - last but by no means least - democracy.This        stimulating Very Short Introduction to Ancient Greece takes the polis as its        starting point. Paul Cartledge uses the history of eleven major Greek cities to        illuminate the most important and informative themes in Ancient Greek history, from        the first documented use of the Greek language around 1400 BCE, through the glories        of the Classical and Hellenistic periods, to the foundation of the Byzantine empire        in around CE 330. Covering everything from politics, trade, and travel toslavery,        gender, religion, and philosophy, it provides the ideal concise introduction to the        history and culture of this remarkable civilization that helped give birth to the        world as we know it.
