Esta obra fundamental de Michael Grant traza la historia de la civilización griega entre los años 750 y 480 a.C., explorando el desarrollo de las bases de la Grecia clásica. El autor examina con detalle la política, la economía, el arte y la filosofía de la época, situando a los antiguos griegos en el contexto de otras civilizaciones contemporáneas. A través de un análisis regional, el libro ilustra cómo surgieron las ciudades-estado y cómo evolucionaron sus estructuras sociales y culturales. Es una lectura esencial para estudiantes y entusiastas de la historia antigua que buscan comprender el ascenso de una de las culturas más influyentes de la humanidad.

Michael Grant was an English classicist, Professor of Humanity at the University of Edinburgh, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history. His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. Having studied and held a number of academic posts in the United Kingdom and the Middle East, he retired early to write full-time. He once described himself as "one of the very few freelancers in the field of ancient history: a rare phenomenon". As a populariser, his hallmarks were his prolific output and his unwillingness to oversimplify or talk down to his readership. He published over 70 works.
