Ancient Greece

When did the ancient Olympic Games begin? What popular game used the ankle joints of goats or sheep? Why did people cross the River Styx? What could a dinner guest expect to eat at a banquet in ancient Greece?Ancient Greece is part of Discoveries, a dynamic new reference series for children. Atmospheric illustrations, strong photographs and lively text engage and encourage readers to discover for themselves the world around them. Titles from Natural History, Our World, Science and Technology and Our Past cover an exciting span of subjects: from the colour and splendour of Ancient Egypt to the intriguing world of Mammals. A four-page foldout in each title reveals a dramatic, and perhaps unexpected, perspective.
