Reviews
"The Greeks is quite simply the best introduction available to the ancient Hellenes, whose contributions to modern civilization are exceptional in their creativity and scope, from philosophy to democracy and from the invention of the alphabet to that of the analog computer. The authors' breadth of vision and insight is based on a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach that embraces art, archaeology, history, language, society, ecology, literature, andthe contributions of the ancient Near East. Their clarity of judgement and sureness of touch make this book a reliable guide to a part of humanity's past without which we cannot understand our present or shapeour future."--Richard Janko, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor"Morris and Powell offer a rich and clear-eyed journey through the complex world of ancient Greece, including full treatments of the Hellenistic era and the 'coming of Rome' down to the battle of Actium. Careful examinations of historical and cultural cause and effect help us understand why things might have happened in a certain way, while still showing how many open questions remain; discussions of geography, demography, economics, and the experiences ofother Mediterranean cultures introduce some of the complicated factors that underlie the historical narrative. Morris and Powell help us understand the Greeks--and they also use the Greeks to help usunderstand history."--Sarah Brown Ferrario, The Catholic University of America, "The Greeks is quite simply the best introduction available to the ancient Hellenes, whose contributions to modern civilization are exceptional in their creativity and scope, from philosophy to democracy and from the invention of the alphabet to that of the analog computer.

Synopsis
Now proudly published by Oxford University Press, The Greeks provides a broad, chronological framing of Ancient Greek history from the end of the Ice Age to the irresistible progress of Roman armies across the Mediterranean. Through a holistic view of Ancient Greece, authors Ian Morris and Barry B. Powell offer not just a narrative of events or an overview of culture, but history and culture taken together. New to the Third Edition Extensively revised sections on the prehistoric, Archaic, and Hellenistic periods. An enhanced eBook provides students with flashcards, quizzes, and note-taking guides. The entire photo program has been made over with new illustrations. Many of the photos can be viewed in color in the enhanced eBook. All of the maps have been redrawn for improved clarity and are in color in the enhanced eBook. A Computerized Test Bank and PowerPoint slides of all photos and maps are available to adopters at Oxford Learning Link (www.oup.com/he/morris-powell3e). Book jacket., In The Greeks, Ian Morris and Barry B. Powell try to see ancient Greece as a whole: not just a narrative of events or an overview of culture, but history and culture taken together. From ancient Greece comes the modern conviction that through open discussion and the exercise of reason a society of free citizens can solve the problems that challenge it. In one period of Greek history, a society just so governed produced timeless masterpieces of literature, art, and rational thought at the same time that it waged terrible wars and committed countless cruelties. If we understand the past, we can live better in the present, but the past is hard to understand.
