"Entertaining Greece" by Mikhail Gasparov is exactly the book with which you should start your acquaintance with ancient Greek culture. Being, according to the author himself, the transcription of "Greek history into anecdotes", the book became a real bestseller. Mikhail Gasparov tells us about the most interesting episodes from the history of Greece, the Greco-Persian wars, the gods, Sparta, the Olympic Games, Athenian democracy, causing the most unexpected questions. For example, did Homer really die of grief after failing to solve the riddle? Why were the Spartans so unscrupulous in their food, and the Greek rulers so gullible when it came to prophecy? In this edition, the fascinating story of the greatest specialist in 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.
