What do you know about Greek history? The ancient Greeks loom large in legend and lore. In ancient myth, names such as Hercules, Achilles, and Prometheus scream out to us from the primordial past. Who are these strange, mysterious figures? More importantly, who were they to the Greeks? Greek mythology provides a key to Greek culture itself. The Greeks always valued noble virtues such as courage and strength, which was reflected in their ancient mythologies. And these same strains of character can be seen interwoven throughout Greek history itself. Even when the chips were down, the Greeks stood strong against insurmountable odds. The Greeks battled Persians, Macedonians, Romans, and Ottomans, and although they didn't always win the wars of the battlefield, they almost always won over the hearts and minds of the conquered and conquerors alike. Greek culture was so strong that it was passed around the world like a valued commodity by whoever just so happened to come into contact with it. Greek arts, philosophy, science, and political discourse were a true gift to the world. In this book, you will explore the ancient Greeks, the Byzantine Empire, the Greek War of Independence, the Megali Idea, the military junta, and modern-day governance-this book covers Greek history from start to finish. In this book, you will learn more about:
Ancient Greek mythology
The rise of Greek city-states and democracy
Ancient Greek warfare
Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic era
Greco-Roman culture
The Byzantine Empire
Greece under Ottoman rule
Greek independence
20th-century Greece
Modern Greece
And more!
