Levi, Peter.

Atlas of the Greek World.

New York, Facts on File Publications / Equinox Books, 1987. 24 x 31cm. 239 pages, with 60 maps, and 500 illustrations, 350 in colour. Original clothbound hardcover with dustjacket and decorated endpapers. Excellent condition, other than small tear (1cm) to rear jacket and very mild foxing to top edges.

This book introduces the reader to the ancient Greeks, their spiritual and mental world as well as the physical world, their history and travels as well as their arts and sciences. It is impossible to understand Greek history or art without a strong sense of the prehistory, the landscape, the climate, the geography and the conditions of life. Atlas of the Greek World sets the scene for this study and then, through the use of an authoritative text, maps and illustrations takes the reader through the history, stopping to view 26 ancient sites and to comment on the achievements of this remarkable civilisation.
