透过50名人物，不论他们是来自于政治、文学、科学、哲学、艺术或运动，我们能完整了解古希腊的历史！

我们都听说过Socrates、Aristotle或Aristophanes，但我们对他们真正的认识多少？他们是如何连接在一起，如何影响了希腊历史？这本书会带给你所有答案。古希腊的政治领袖、作家、艺术家和哲学家将一小群城市国家转变为伟大的泛地中海文明，其遗产到今天还是可以随处可见。但这些人是谁，我们对他们的生活了解多少？他们是如何互动的？作者在书中将 50名最重要的古希腊人物的生命编制成一个连续的、按时间顺序组织的叙事。从早期暴君庇西特拉图和波利克拉底，到克里斯提尼到菲利普二世和亚历山大大帝统治下马其顿的崛起以及随着罗马的崛起，希腊世界最终衰落。

好评：

“A few great men operating in isolation – too often this is the way ancient Greece is described to us. Stuttard puts the very greatest into their historical, political and cultural contexts and coaxes some of the lesser known centre stage“ -Bettany Hughes, author and historian

“David Stuttard’s career represents an admirable commitment to popularizing classical culture and making it accessible to new non-specialist audiences“ - Current World Archaeology
