This is quite similar to The Rise of the Greeks in that it is broken in to disjointed chapters covering certain areas. This one is made up of chapters about influential people as opposed to geographic city-states. This one was more enjoyable to read and very informative. A great reference to keep on a shelf as well, as I can see myself going back periodically to reread the chapter on, say, Dionysius I and II of Syracuse and their battles against Carthage on Sicily. Grant has written basically a trilogy of this type of book. Rise of the Greeks is the first, this is the second and From Alexander to Cleopatra is the third, and they comprise a nice outline of Greek history spanning several centuries, and from many viewpoints.

The golden age of ancient Greek civilization, the Classical period, lasted from 490 to 336 BC and saw an unmatched multiplication of varied talents and genuis within so limited a period. This book concentrates on the individuals in the cultural, social, artistic and political history of this time, who shaped their own and future civilizations. Grant places the work of Sophocles, Aristophanes, Herodotus, Aristotle, the architect and sculptors of the Parthenon, Philip II of Macedonia and many others in their historical context and asks what gave rise to such outstanding achievement in the cultural, philosophical, scientific and literary spheres.
