Content introduction
Through extensive use of ancient sources, the book introduces several important aspects of ancient Greek society: religion and thought, Athenian democracy, Athenian society, Athenian theatre, the Olympic Games, and Sparta. It also provides information on the value of Greek money, Greek Musical Instruments, and the Greek calendar.
Chapters two through four deal with some of the great Greek traditions: the Greek religion, the ancient Olympic Games (which formed the model for the modern Olympic movement), and the development of Greek thought in the fields of natural science, philosophy, and medicine. Chapters 5 through 8 focus on the two most powerful cities of classical times, Athens and Sparta. From Athenian society, to the city's invention and practice of democracy and drama, to Athens' greatest rival, Spartan society.
