"When you think of the achievements and legacy of ancient Greece, you probably think of art, architecture, and democracy.

This fascinating volume will introduce readers to all this and more as they explore the myriad accomplishments of ancient Greece. Thoroughly researched text highlights important social studies concepts, while gorgeous images bring the text to life.
