Entertaining Greece. Stories about ancient Greek culture
39.99 €
"Entertaining Greece" by Mikhail Gasparov is exactly the right book with which to begin your acquaintance with ancient Greek culture. Being, according to the author himself, a transposition of "Greek history into anecdotes", the book has become a real bestseller. Mikhail Gasparov tells us about the most interesting episodes from Greek history, the Greco-Persian wars, the gods, Sparta, the Olympic Games, Athenian democracy, raising the most unexpected questions. For example, did Homer really die of grief, unable to solve the riddle? Why were the Spartans so unscrupulous about food and Greek rulers so gullible when it came to prophecies? In this edition, the fascinating story of the largest expert on antiquity is accompanied by numerous photographs of ancient Greek artifacts, works of fine art and illustrations by Tatiana Payanskaya, which reflect the aesthetics of the culture of ancient Greece.
