Publisher's summary
Take a voyage to the crucible of Western civilization and explore the country whose culture and politics shaped the foundation of modern society.
What is it about the ancient Greek world that makes it so pivotal? Why, thousands of years later, is it still alive and captivating our imaginations, not to mention forming the basis for many of our legal and political proceedings?
The social and cultural legacy of the Greeks was so significant that even Rome, who conquered Greece, assimilated much of its culture. From art and myth to science and history, the story of Greek civilization holds the seeds of many aspects of modern life.
In this book, you’ll explore the true history, culture, and politics of Ancient Greece. In a concise, entertaining, and easy-to-read narrative, you’ll discover:
- How Greece’s unique geographical pockets influenced its growth
- What prehistoric and so-called “Dark Age” civilizations contributed to later culture
- Where modern traditions like marathons and the Olympics really came from
- Why the fifth century BCE is known as the “Golden Age” of Athens
- What caused the decades-long Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta
- Why military leaders like Darius of Persia, Pericles, and Alexander the Great had such an impact
- How revolutions in thought, art, and politics shaped Ancient Greece and our world today
And much more.
Whether you’re looking for an introduction to Ancient Greece or a new source of study, reading this book will give you a clear overview of the Greek world and the streams of major figures, events, and ideas that influenced it. Scroll up and listen now.

The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Stories of "The American West" often rely on tired tropes of tough cowboys, but real history is much less straight and narrow and way more interesting. Join host Niecy Nash-Betts for a wild round-up of LGBTQ+ lives that got buried in the dust of popular culture and history, and a look at how queer people continue to shape the West today–from gay rodeo to two-spirit identity to trans truckers.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Story
More than 2,000 years ago, the Greek city-states, led by Athens and Sparta, laid the foundation for much of modern science, the arts, politics, and law. But the influence of the Greeks did not end with the rise and fall of this classical civilization. As historian Roderick Beaton illustrates, over three millennia Greek speakers produced a series of civilizations that were rooted in southeastern Europe but again and again ranged widely across the globe.

Alexander the Great's fame has rolled down the centuries, but the golden Hellenistic Age that followed is largely forgotten. "Byzantine" conjures decadence and deadly intrigue, yet the thousand-year empire that ruled from Constantinople and saved Europe twice from invasion was, in fact, Greek.
