Summary:

The subject of this book is enormous. In time it covers a period of well over a thousand years, from the poems of Homer to the end of pagan religion and the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. In geographical extension it begins Greece with small communities emerging from a dark age of conquest and Empire which unified the Mediterranean world and a great deal besides.
