Early Times: The Story of Ancient Greece book by Suzanne Art

Ancient Greece is the source of so many features of western society -- democracy, trial by jury, the alphabet, philosophy, scientific and mathematical theories, the Olympic Games, classical art and architecture, and the theater. And just think of the colorful characters of Greek myth and legend--satyrs, sirens, many-headed monsters, one-eyed giants, winged horses, and the powerful but flawed Olympian gods and goddesses. The legacy of the ancient Greeks is immeasurable - so plunge into their rich history and embark on a remarkable odyssey.
