Modern European civilization owes much to Ancient Greece. Over their two-thousand-year history, the Greeks created a rational economic system based on the use of labor and natural resources, a civil public structure, a polis organization with a republican system, and a high culture that had a huge impact on the development of Roman and world culture. This book, first published in 1912 under the title "A Book for Reading on Ancient History. Part I," tells about the everyday, private, and public life of ancient Greece, about outstanding statesmen, philosophers, writers, and military leaders. The reader will attend a popular assembly in Athens, take part in conversations between Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, learn many details of Greek life, and visit Olbia, one of the flourishing cities of Taurida. Among the participants in this unusual project were future luminaries of Soviet historical science - N.A. Kun, V.N. Pertsev, S.I. Radzig, A.A. Fortunatov, A.M. Vasyutinsky, N.M. Nikolsky, K.V. Sivkov, V.N. Dyakov and others.
