"Wonderfully accessible introduction to Greek history. She was made an honorary citizen of Athens and well deserved it. I love her. Her biography, by parter Reid, is worth reading to learn more about this remarkable mind."
"An excellent introduction to the Greeks. Hamilton's passion for the subject is clear, and it helps to give the whole subject an engaging, personal quality. I especially liked how she was able to characterize differences between Greek and English literature, the Greek approach to tragedy, and the matter of fact manner in which the Greeks approached the world. In the end, the book made me appreciate the contribution of the Greeks more, and made we want to check out a few of those primary texts that I haven't yet discovered. In my view, that's one of the best things a book can do--point you to other books that will make a helpful contribution to your life and thought."
