"The best introduction to classical Greek culture yet written...Learned, stylish and inspiring...Well-informed, insightful and on the whole written in a sparkling style," says the Los Angeles Times of this lively exploration of "the hinges of history."
Author Thomas Cahill escorts the reader on an entertaining journey through the landmarks of art and bloodshed that defined Greek culture nearly three millennia ago. Granting equal time to the sacred and the profane, he rivets readers’ attention to the legacies of an ancient and enduring worldview.
