Synopsis
An introduction for students, teachers, and lay readers to the delights of exploring the world of ancient Greece., William R.

The second edition brings information on all areas up to date, reflecting the most recent research, and it includes cross references to Perseus II, the interactive electronic data base on Archaic and Classical Greece. This edition includes new illustrations, some of recent finds, some of improved plans, and others added to enhance an explanation or to illustrate a point., An excellent book which should find a ready audience among teachers and students as the standard handbook for classes in Greek archaeology. ?
