For us, the inheritors of much that the Greeks created, there is an inherent interest in the way in which they organised their society during these centuries. Although this book assumes no knowledge of Greek, the reader is introduced to a range of key Greek words and concepts which offer a direct insight into the mentality, both collective and individual, of the times. The sources themselves (all of which have been translated by the authors) are supported by introductory commentary, notes, bibliographies, chronological tables and maps. All students and teachers of the history of ancient Greece or of classical civilisation generally will find this book an invaluable tool.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of figures\u003cbr\u003e List of maps\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Conventions and abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Weights, measures, money\u003cbr\u003e Introduction I: Greek society\u003cbr\u003e Introduction II: the sources\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
