Blurb: “This is a study of the character and history of an ancient civilization, and of the people who created it. Since its first publication as a Pelican, The Greeks has sold 1,400,000 copies.
The critics have said of it: 'The best introduction I have ever read to Ancient Greece. The author's liveliness of mind and style has enabled him to make a mass of information appetizing and digestible' - Raymond Mortimer in the Sunday Times Very easy to read... a triumph of balance and condensation' - Harold Nicolson in the Observer
'Professor Kitto is a model historian - lively, accurate, and fully acquainted with the latest developments in the subject... never vague...
often witty and always full of vigour' - The Times Educational Supplement
The cover, designed by Germano Facetti, shows a detail from a painting on the tomb of Vitoria Alata, at the Museo di Paestum (Bisonte).”
