Very Useful From an Artistic Perspective

This work has a great deal to offer the novice in terms of an outline of ancient Greek history, religion and thought. For the more advanced student, there are a number of illustrations that accurately portray ancient Greek life (as well as some less accurate but nonetheless interesting illustrations). Best of all are the architectural drawings of ancient Greek sites.I highly recommend it.
