It seems that we know everything about Ancient Greece. The Greeks fought the Persians, told stories about the gods and heroes we call myths, built temples and invented the Olympic Games. The history of Hellas, as the ancient Greeks called their homeland, goes through every schoolchild, and everyone at least once, but had to hear: Greece is the cradle of European civilization. Indeed, democracy, theater, philosophy, sports competitions, mathematics and astronomy - and this is not the whole list! All come from Ancient Greece.
But how did it happen that little Greece with an arid climate, divided by mountains into promising patches, useful lands for the development of agriculture and population, found creation in art, science, sports, testing - yes, in any case! – what has the whole world chosen so far? Not a single school textbook gives an answer to this question, but this book is still accumulating. An explanation why Greece is not one, but many small states, how the new use of warriors became a stronghold, why we find Greek traces from Italy and France to the Black Sea coast, and what prompted the Hellenes to travel so far?
The author of the book, well-known historian and writer Andrey Dubrovsky, tells us in a fascinating and accessible way about the main events in the history of this amazing journey, and about the daily life of its inhabitants: what houses they lived in, what they ate for dinner, how and where they studied, what they read and how they were treated. This complete picture of the life of the Hellenes, where even such a likely trifle, the size of the shield, effectively manifests itself, allows you to see the interconnection of events, and understand how, nevertheless, Ancient Greece managed to become the "cradle of the civilization of civilization."
