From the Peloponnesian War through the creation of Athenian democracy, from the turbulent empire of Alexander the Great to the creation of the Roman Empire and the emergence of Christianity, Fox serves as our witty and trenchant guide.

The

World
is
a
more
epic
epic
than
any
toga-clad
celluloid

to

fight
for
attention
in
a
story
that
is
never
cluttered

stimulating.
witty, ferociously learned, enormously well read
an ambitious and exhilarating volume...The Classical World is so replete with insight and anecdote that I would love to see it in every school library.
