Egypt definitely gets the short straw and is the most glossed over of the three. Honestly, I doubt existing enthusiasts of any of these three ancient cultures will find anything to like here, as it’s not in-depth enough to satisfy.

I had to read this for a class called the Ancient Mediterranean World. As textbooks go, it was relatively easy to understand.

A bit thin in places but this history is a wonderful overview of ancient Mediterranean history. A good introduction or refresher to people like me who have not read up on ancient western history for what seems like millennia.

A brilliant audiobook. Absorbing. Cannot suggest enough. It will broaden and deepen your understanding of what happens at the edges of history.

Fascinating

This is really a collection of several shorter books that are separate to the extent that they each have their own beginning and end within the audiobook. This means that it doesn't connect the various descriptions of the civilizations together into one cohesive history. On top of that even within each section the story is a bit disjointed because it will talk about the history in one chapter, the art in another, the language in the next, etc. That means that you're jumping around the centuries a lot and it makes it a bit harder to get a sese of how the whole civilization grew and declined.

That said, there is a lot of good information in here and I got a much better sense of these less-well known civilizations than I did before listening to this audiobook.

Ancient Mediterranean History course. It is a very in-depth guide on the topic and I have discovered it to be very entertaining listening. Well worth the price.

Thank you.

However, the book fulfills its main aim well – of being an introductory overview for the complete newcomer to the subject, Each chapter even comes complete with suggestions for further for the student wishing to undertake research that is more extensive.

Egypt, Greece, and Rome is a good introduction to the ancient history of the Mediterranean civilizations, and I read to refresh my memory of these cultures. I will be reading portions of this book in years to come and not cover-to-cover as I did now. I particularly liked the literary support used.

very informative
