Great storytelling
Great review of the most interesting aspects of the ancient Greco-Roman world. A great introduction for anyone with any interest in history. The best part about this book is the retelling of known facts and myths through a rational approach, which serves to fact check a lot of known bits of trivia. Solid book, would recommend.
