How to Survive in Ancient Greece by Robert Garland
5.0
This book was received as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A both hilarious and informative guide to Ancient Greece. I love the way Garland provides his insight, along with decent facts that I surprisingly didn't know! Choosing to focus mostly in Athens and Sparta was definitely one of the better choices, and picking a small time period made things flow really well. The integration of Sparta as a contrast, showing not everywhere in Greece was the same, also helps with the narrative the author is creating. Fun and interesting!
