The second volume in the series "The Ancient World" by one of Europe's most eminent classical philologists Tadeusz Zieliński. In this part of his monumental work, the Author leads the Reader to ancient Greece: into the world of the Persian Wars and the Peloponnesian War, the world of Leonidas and Themistocles, Pericles, into the world of Phidias and Socrates. Against the background of the events of political and military history, Zielinski masterfully portrays the beauty and spirit of ancient Hellada - enchanted in masterpieces of architecture, sculpture, ceramics; still living today in the immortal thought of antiquity.
