The classical civilizations of Greece and Rome once dominated
the world, and they continue to fascinate and inspire us. Classical
art and architecture, drama and epic, philosophy and politics-these
are the foundations of Western civilization. In The Classical
World, eminent classicist Robin Lane Fox brilliantly chronicles
this vast sweep of history from Homer to the reign of Hadrian. 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. He introduces us to extraordinary
heroes and horrific villains, great thinkers and blood-thirsty
tyrants. Throughout this vivid tour of two of the greatest
civilizations the world has ever known, we remain in the hands of a
great master.
