An Introduction to Ancient Greece, the
opening volume in the Introduction to History
series, presents a straightforward and engaging
narrative of one of the major origins of Western
civilization, in full colour and with supporting
activities for each of its 25 topics. Succinctly
presented, classical Greek history and culture, from
its modest beginnings millennia ago to an enduring
legacy still felt today, is made more accessible
than ever.
Written in a lucid style for both non-native and
younger native English speakers alike, each unit
comprises four sections. The first contains
vocabulary activities that prepare learners for the
informative reading on the next page, which is
accompanied by a corresponding visual, such as a map
or family tree, to aid understanding. The word count
of successive texts slightly lengthens to
accommodate the later, more detailed content as well
as to improve reading skills. The third part
consists of comprehension exercises, while the
fourth includes discussion questions that
demonstrate each subject’s relevance to the present
day, a recommended homework research project to
delve a little deeper into each issue, and a related
image for added interest. Finally, a glossary lists
related Greek terminology along with curious facts.
This book, then, is the ideal place to begin
learning about the ancient Greeks, who have
influenced much of the world through their writings,
buildings, art, science, politics, sports, and more!
