The Greeks has provided a concise yet wide-ranging introduction to the culture of ancient Greece. In this new and expanded third edition the best-selling volume offers a lucid survey that covers all the key elements of ancient Greek civilization from the age of Homer to the Hellenistic period. It provides detailed discussions of the main trends in literature and drama, philosophy, art and architecture, with generous reference to original sources, and places ancient Greek culture firmly in its political, social and historical context.
The new edition has expanded coverage of the post-Classical period with major expansions in the areas of Hellenistic history, literature and philosophy. More emphasis is placed on the Greek world as a whole, especially on Sparta, and the focus on social history has been increased. The Greeks is an indispensable introduction for all students of Classics, and an invaluable guide for students of other disciplines who require grounding in Greek civilization.

"The abundant riches of ancient Greek texts and artifacts make finding a good introductory text a constant challenge. In this new edition, Sowerby has blended together his substantive, rich, and insightful readings of ancient texts with greatly expanded and revised presentations on the political, social, intellectual, and artistic developments, figures, and accomplishments of the Greeks from the Mycenaeans to the Hellenistic age. Loaded with ancient texts and a most useful array of images, plans, and charts, the old core and the new enhancements make this new edition the first choice for an intro course on the ancient Greeks." - Brad L. Cook, University of Mississippi, USA.
