520    Ancient Greece was never just one nation: it was a 
       disparate collection of independent city states, often 
       embroiled in war, with separate governments, their own 
       armies and distinct politics, economies and societies. 
       However, together these vibrant and diverse peoples made 
       one of the greatest civilisations the world has known, 
       endowing the western world with cutting-edge philosophy, 
       science, literature, architecture, visual arts, military 
       prowess and democracy - to name but a few of their 
       enduring contributions to the modern world. 'The Ancient 
       Greeks in 100 Facts' tells the story of this fascinating 
       civilisation, from its earliest bronze age beginnings as 
       described by Homer and Hesiod, to the wars with and 
       eventual subjugation by the Romans. Visit the Minoans and 
       the Spartans, the Macedonians and the Athenians; meet 
       Plato and Aristotle, Sophocles and Socrates. Follow 
       Alexander the Great to the end of the world and witness 
       the birth of historical writing through Herodotus and 
       Thucydides. These 100 gripping facts provide an enjoyable 
       and accessible introduction to one of the world's great 
       civilisations.
