The ancient Greeks were one of the most important influences on the course of Western civilization. They were fundamental in the development of democracy, philosophy, art, theatre and athletics. This richly illustrated book traces their lasting contributions in the visual arts, and places them in their historical and cultural context. The book includes the most significant examples of art and architecture produced by Greeks, from the Minoans and Mycenaeans of the second millennium BC to the inhabitants of Alexander the Great's vast empire, and explores the cultural significance of these works, whether religious, social or political.
