Do you want to explore the energizing and stunning story of Ancient Greece? This fascinating history will unpack the brilliant people, the astonishing wars, and the enchanting legacy of the ancient Greeks, from the Archaic era through to the Hellenistic period.

Exploring ancient Greece’s history is spectacularly inspiring. The Greeks gave us our foundational concepts of geometry, our first astronomical models, the beginnings of modern medicine, and our understanding of democracy. Greek sculptures, paintings, and mosaics captured the human form realistically and movingly – like nothing ever seen before. The ancient Greeks were a powerhouse of all things new!

This thoroughly researched and compelling narrative vividly presents an extraordinary insight into ancient Greece.

A glimpse of the questions this audiobook will uncover includes:

• What ancient Greek scientists first proposed that spherical earth rotated around the sun? • Why was Socrates forced to drink hemlock poison? • Did the ancient Greeks believe a great flood destroyed humankind? • When did the Olympic Games begin, and did the athletes really compete in the nude? • How did Anaximander predict an earthquake and get the Spartans to evacuate? • What happened when the Oracle at Delphi breathed in the fumes from the crevasse? • Why did the Bacchiadeae family send assassins to kill Labda’s baby? • What brilliant tactics made Sparta a military super-power? • Who killed his father and married his mother without realizing who they were? • Did Alexander the Great really name a city after his horse? • How did Xerxes’ Persian engineers bridge the Hellespont? • What catastrophic plague hit Athens in the middle of the Peloponnesian War against Sparta? • And much, much more!
