falkor Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) I am looking for a good all round book on Ancient Greece in the same way that "Chronicle of The Roman Republic/Emperors" are good books for introducing the Roman Empire. Based on the Roman example, I expect a Greek counterpart to meet the following criteria: *Highly illustrated with maps and photos of artifacts. *Chronology: told with more emphasis on order of events and rulers (less on themes and aspects of Greek life). *MUST INCLUDE THE MINOANS IN THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS. Also looking for any documentaries that give the same overview on Ancient Greece, including the Minoans.

Maladict Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 The Archaeology of Greece (or Ancient Greece) by Biers is one of the standard introductions to sites and artifacts (pottery and sculpture). Not much in the way of events and rulers, you'll need a history book for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
