Thumbs Up

A very fine collection of short biographies of ancient greeks, including Solon the lawgiver, Themistocles the father of Athens' navy, Pericles who oversaw the building of the Parthenon, and others, like the macedonian king Philip and his son Alexander the great (who conquered the Persian empire and died at age thirty three). The author provides an excellent general background chapter about ancient Greek history that gives a nice context to fit in the characters in the bios. Really a fun book for folks who are into ancient Greece. Gets a thumbs up from me.
