<p>¿Monumental . . . A wonderful book.¿ Peter Frankopan<br><br>¿Magisterial . . . remarkable.¿ <i>Guardian</i><br><br>¿Erudite and highly readable . . . An authoritative guide to the countless ways in which Greek words and ideas have shaped the modern world.¿ <i>Financial Times</i><br><br><b><i>The Greeks </i>is a story which takes us from the archaeological treasures of the Bronze Age Aegean and myths of gods and heroes, to the politics of the European Union today. It is a story of inventions, such as the alphabet, philosophy and science, but also of reinvention: of cultures which merged and multiplied, and adapted to catastrophic change. It is the epic, revelatory history of the Greek-speaking people and their global impact told as never before. </b></p>
