Many believe that the beginning of ancient Greece dates back to the 8th century BC, with the epic poems of Homer and the construction of the first Greek temples. Yet this culture emerged from organized societies that had existed in this area from over 2,000 years earlier; societies who brought with them aspects of ancient Egyptian life. Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean traces the progress of civilization in this key region, from the Bronze Age societies of the Minoans to the exquisite art and strikingly modern thought of ancient Greece, and finally to the crowning glory of the ancient world. Ancient Greece occupied a strategic position as the central crossroads of the ancient world. It formed a meeting place between the people of a still undeveloped Europe and the great civilizations of Asia Minor and North Africa. Ancient Greece and the Mediterranean brings alive this astonishing story, beginning with the Cretan civilization of the Minoans. The book recounts the rise of the Greeks and the fate of local warlords, who gradually gave way to an emerging 'middle class' of merchants, craftsmen and farmers. It goes on to relate the supreme test of the Greek spirit: the wars with Persia, in which the Greeks - astonishingly - saw off an invasion attempt by the mighty empire to the east. The victory over the Persians ushered in the Golden Age of Athens. Presided over by the statesman Pericles, this era saw a stream of astonishing architectural projects. Pride, however, came before a fall, with Athens's decline from glory and the rise of a northern, hitherto obscure Greek state - Macedon.

Slavic Myth When the thread had unrolled Marusia began to follow its path. Down the lane and across fields and ditches it took her- then passed straightunder the bolted door of a church. Marusia climbed up a convenient window to discover what was going on inside- and nearly fell down in fright. before the altar in a open coffin a body had been laid out for a funeral the next day. There knelt her lover, calmly eating the corpse. Marusia meant to steal secretly away, but in her panic she slipped and fell noisily to the ground. Plunging headlong across the fields, she arrived home safely, still fearful that she might have been seen.

Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire tells the enthralling story of how an insignificant settlement came to be a preeminent metropolis, and how a tribe of impoverished shepherds came to rule the world. Having learned to fight for their very survival, the Romans were soon waging war as a way of life: eventually, all of Italy was under their command. Across Western Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, the legions carried Roman culture wherever they went, building roads and cities and establishing law and order. Yet alongside the civic dignity, the awesome engineering achievements, and stunning works of art, a more sinister side of Roman culture could be seen in the arena at the Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death. Whatever its flaws, the world the Romans built seemed strong and stable enough to last forever: in the end, though, the eternal city would prove all too mortal. It was another unlikely race of shepherds -- nomadic tribesmen far out on the Central Asian steppe -- which set in motion the cataclysmic sequence of events that led to Rome's decline and fall. As this fascinating history shows, the legacy the Romans left behind them would live on to influence almost every aspect of our lives in the modern world.
