Greek history and philosophy through the ages

Author's name: Theodore Papakostas

This book is a thrilling journey through time and space, beginning in prehistory and continuing to classical Greece. Two strangers meet in an elevator and become trapped; their conversation begins with a simple question: "What do you do for a living?"
One is an archaeologist, the other is not. Thus begins the archaeologist's account of the great history of Greece, met by the other—initially indifferent—who bombards him with questions. The patient, knowledgeable, and engaging archaeologist answers them, thus entertainingly recounting the history of ancient Greece. Dr. Papakostas, the archaeologist, doesn't merely answer the common questions within his field; he also delves into pivotal and even fleeting moments in the history of ancient Greece.
