Summary
"Covering the Bronze Age, as well as the archaic, classical, and early Hellenistic periods, Themes in Greek Society and Culture introduces students to central aspects of ancient Greek society. Each chapter covers a topic of importance to ancient Greek society, and contributes to an understanding of the Greeks' institutions, structures, activities, and cultural output. The volume brings together 19 expert contributors who apply this thematic approach to ask what Greek society looked like and how its people lived."--
