A lively and accessible history of Athenss rise to greatness, from one of the foremost classical historians.The definitive account of Athens in the age of Pericles, Christian Meiers gripping study begins with the Greek triumph over Persia at the Battle of Salamis, one of the most significant military victories in history. Meier shows how that victory decisively established Athenss military dominance in the Mediterranean and made possible its rise to preeminence in almost every field of human eavorcommerce, science, philosophy, art, architecture, and literature. Within seventyfive years, Athens had become the most original and innovative civilization the ancient world ever produced.With elegant narrative style, Meier traces the birth of democracy and the flourishing of Greek culture in the fifth century B.C., as well as Athens slow decline and defeat in the Peloponnesian War. The great figuresfrom politicians and generals like Themistocles and Alcibiades to the philosophers Socrates and Platoemerge as fleshandblood human beings, firmly rooted in their times and places.

I was expecting more of a narrative and less of an academic analysis. It's interesting, but if you want something lighter, this might not be for you. Still, it has some beautiful visuals that I appreciate.

Arrived Damaged, But Content is Good
Unfortunately, my copy of 'Athens: A Portrait of the City in Its Golden Age' arrived with a dented cover. The contents are fascinating, but I wish the packaging was better to protect it during shipping. I’ll be reaching out for a replacement.

Beautifully Illustrated, A Bit Dense
While I appreciate the artwork in this book about golden age Athens, the writing can get pretty heavy at times. It's not the easiest read for casual history enthusiasts. Still, I found some fascinating facts that kept me engaged.
