John Nelson's Reviews > The Classical Greeks

In this book, Michael Grant describes the culture and achievements of the classical Greeks by focusing each chapter on a particular philosopher, dramatist, artist, historian, or political leader - each being one of the best that Greece produced - as being exemplary of a particular accomplishment or development in Greek history. The book leaves the reader wanting to delve more deeply into the lives and accomplishments of the persons discussed, which is perhaps the best proof possible that a general overview of this sort has been successful. On the whole, I give the book four stars.
