Tells the Greek story through the interconnecting lives of the men and women who shaped its politics and literature, its science and philosophy, its art and sport
David Stuttard is the author of several books on the classical world, including The Romans Who Shaped Britain, also published by Thames & Hudson.
'A few great men operating in isolation – too often this is the way
ancient Greece is described to us. Stuttard puts the very greatest
into their historical, political and cultural contexts and coaxes
some of the lesser known centre stage' - Bettany Hughes, author and
historian
'David Stuttard's career represents an admirable commitment to
popularizing classical culture and making it accessible to new
non-specialist audiences' - Current World Archaeology
