Description & Specifications

The classic civilizations of Greece and Rome once dominated the world and continue to fascinate and inspire us. Classical art and architecture, drama and epic poetry, philosophy and politics - these are the foundations of Western civilization. In The Classical World, the prominent classicist Robin Lane Fox brilliantly captures this grand adventure of history from Homer to the age of Hadrian. From the Peloponnesian War to the establishment of the Athenian Democracy, from the tumultuous empire of Alexander the Great to the creation of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity, Fox serves as our perceptive and witty guide. He introduces us to remarkable heroes and fearsome villains, great thinkers and bloodthirsty tyrants. During this vibrant tour of cultures that have been among the greatest in the history of the world, we are always in the hands of a great teacher.
