Thorough yet highly readable intro to Archaic Greece
A brief, highly readable primer for the Archaic period of Greek history, which preceded the Golden Age of Athens and Greece. Homer, Sappho, and the philosophers before Socrates are focusses. Many of the influences that informed important developments affecting the great age of direct democracy, drama, art, philosophy, and science, to name a few subjects, are covered in this book. Recommended.

Author makes Greek to her "Greek to me"
Way, way missed the mark. Actually embarrassing to read. Really simplistic view of Greece and acquiring proficiency on the Greek language clustered around the musings of an author whose self-centrism - and ability to bore - is off the charts. Somehow Ms. Norris thinks her being editor for a NY-based magazine matters inordinately. Do yourself a favor and skip it. Wish I had.

A very unsatisfying book, unworthy of inclusion among other books by Weir.
I expected a lot more from Alison Weir. Granted, there is not much evidence about, say, the early relationship of Matilda of Ghent and William the Conqueror, but Weir didn't have to try to rationalize - outrageously - the unbelievable myth of how they were betrothed. So far, this is a very poor product from a very distinguished historian and author: it's really quite surprising given her other books involving later English history. Either she miscalculated her audience or her standards slipped terribly. Very disappointed.
