Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up. This well-written and well-organized look at important ancient Greek figures is divided into five chronological periods. Each part is prefaced by an overview of major events, contains seven-to-eight three-to-five page biographies complete with suggestions for further reading, and ends with a section that highlights several more less well-known personalities. Subjects are from diverse fields?literature, philosophy, politics, the military, science, math, etc. The authors have done a commendable job of presenting individuals in the context of their historical period and making each biography a study of Greek culture as well as providing information about the person. In some cases (e.g., Homer), the facts are sketchy, but the opposing viewpoints of historians and other scholars are presented to point out the lack of hard documentation and the changing views about these individuals through the centuries. Sources include contemporary studies, ancient writings, and original works by the subjects. Personalities are often humanized through anecdotes. A general index, an index by profession, and a useful time line are added pluses. The black-and-white reproductions of artifacts and artwork, photos of historical sites, and maps are all appropriate for the text. An accessible, useful collective biography for modern readers.?Cynthia M. Sturgis, Ledding Library, Milwaukee, OR

From Booklist

Gr. 9^-12. Using a combination of lively writing, numerous illustrations, and solid background information, the authors profile 37 men and women of ancient Greece. Chosen because of their impact on Greek society and the ongoing influence of their accomplishments, the individuals come from all walks of life and span the years 700^-200 B.C. Each profile contains extensive biographical information and a fascinating discussion of the significance of the individual's achievements. With the added bonus of a time line, a guide to Roman and Greek spelling and pronunciation, a glossary, a reading list, and an index of ancient Greeks by profession, this is an excellent resource for both high school and young adult collections.
