He then describes the civilizations of the Minoans on the island of Crete and of their successors, the Mycenaeans, on the mainland; the Greek Dark Age and the Archaic Age; the Classical Age of Greece in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.; the transformation of the kingdom of Macedonia into the greatest power in the Greek world; and the period after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., when monarchies emerging from Alexander's fragmented empire once again came to dominate Greek history. The narrative integrates political, military, social, and cultural history, with a focus on the development of the Greek city-state in the eighth to fourth centuries B.C. and on the society, literature, and architecture of Athens in its Golden Age.The book, which includes useful timelines, maps, plans, and photographs, was adapted from and may be cross-referenced with the historical overview of Greece that is part of the multimedia interactive database Perseus: Interactive Sources and Studies on Ancient Greece, versions 1.0 and 2.0. The book extends the coverage of the Perseus overview, with its new sections on Greek prehistory, the Bronze and Dark Ages, and the Hellenistic period.Regions & Countries - EuropeHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCGreeceHILCCElectronic books.lcshRegions & Countries - EuropeHistory & ArchaeologyGreece938Martin Thomas R26327UkPrAHLSBOOK9910451786503321Ancient Greece2188445UNINA01288nam a2200313 i 4500991000895659707536050311s2004 meua b 001 0 eng d0883857367b13289573-39ule_instDip.to Matematicaeng510.922AMS 01A05AMS 97D40LC QA21.B47Berlinghoff, William P.622025Math through the ages :a gentle history for teachers and others /William P.
