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.

Binaural beats are an auditory phenomenon that occurs when two slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear, creating the perception of a third frequency—a "beat"—within the brain. This beat is not an actual sound but a result of the brain interpreting the difference between the two frequencies. This process can influence brainwave activity, guiding the mind into various states, such as relaxation, focus, or deep sleep.

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.

On September 26, 2020, Michael was in a great mood. He’d recently returned home to Oklahoma after years in the military. He’d bought a house and had a job teaching and coaching basketball at the local high school. But that night, Michael’s life would turn upside down. Around two o’clock in the morning, he heard people banging on the doors and windows of his home. He called 911 for help. This is the story of what happened next, and why. To understand it, we have to go back to the Trail of Tears that the Five Tribes were forced to walk.

Philosophy, art, democracy, language, even computers—the glories of Greek civilization have shaped our world even more profoundly than we realize. Pericles and the Parthenon may be familiar, but what of Epaminondas, the Theban general who saved the Greek world from Spartan tyranny? 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.

Many people know about the glories of ancient Greece: the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the sculptures, the writings of Homer, and the adventures of Achilles and Jason and the Argonauts. They know about the Greek gods and goddesses, of Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and many others. Even the term “Trojan Horse", named after the trick that the Greeks played on the inhabitants of Troy, has made it into our language. Ancient Greece gave us philosophy, math, medicine, the roots of many languages, and so much more.

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.

This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. This narrative history employs the methods of "history from beneath" - literature, epic traditions, private letters, and accounts - to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled.
