Guardian Bookshop Notes:
Our concepts of politics, philosophy, art and literature are all deeply rooted in the culture of Ancient Greece. Eminent historian Paul Cartledge takes us on a guided tour of this extraordinary civilisation through its city states, which were the defining focus of Greek life, thought and society.
