About This Novel

There are countless books in the world that introduce the Greek world to modern readers, but Kitto's "The Greeks" is a classic in the field. This book uses the style of British prose to introduce us to the group of people who shaped and established a new and unique way of life, that is, city-state democracy. Frequently quoting the Greeks themselves, the author shows us how a group of people formed a nation, the nature of the state, the influence of Homer, and the rise and fall of the city-state. It is an in-depth study of the classical period and provides us with an illuminating picture of Greek thought, mythology and religion, life and sensuality.
