Hail! Ancient Greeks

An entertaining, fact-filled look at history. Dynamic layouts, accessible writing style and contemporary approach bring history to life.
Gossip, scandal, badly behaved rulers – if you thought that celebrity culture was a symptom of the 21st century, think again. This is an irreverent but fact-packed look at the ancient Greeks, with a colourful cast of celebrity characters and a keen awareness of what was ‘on trend’ and what was not, in where people lived, how they kept healthy and how they behaved, at war, at work and at leisure.
