Great book! Tons of pictures, it’s a great research guide for Greeks!

[Greg Schloesser · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars as this accomplishes exactly what it was designed to do: give a brief history of ancient Greece and all of its aspects, including the arts, politics, military, philosophy, housing, farming, mythology and more. A truly wonderful resource book.

Detailed information with lots of pictures. Reminded me of teaching Humanities.

My copy was called The Usborne Illustrated World History of The Greeks but I'm sure this is the same book (same editors). I found it really interesting.

I found this book very educational about greek history.

[Christina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Comprehensive but a bit shallow in places. A decent research source for middle-school students who want to know a little about a lot of different elements of the culture of Ancient Greece but not too much about any one topic.

[Alexander Adrien Ren Grey · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a good short read and well organized with beautiful illustrations. It does glaze over a few parts that aren't exactly kid friendly. Which is a little unfortunate as the full context would actually change the portrayal a bit.

Good, informative overview of ancient Greek history and culture, with lots of detailed pictures.
