	note = {This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the ancient Greeks, tracing their history from the Bronze Age Mycenaean world to the rise of Christianity in the late Roman Empire. Hall argues that a distinctive set of cultural traits—including curiosity, individualism, competitiveness, open-mindedness, eloquence, and maritime enterprise—helped shape Greek civilization and its enduring influence on the modern world. Rather than presenting a simple political history, the book examines diverse Greek communities across the Mediterranean and explores how their ideas contributed to democracy, philosophy, science, literature, and the arts.}
