Recommended Text for OCR Classical Civilisation GCSE
In Search of the Greeks is a lively and informative introduction to the societies of Classical Greece. Making extensive use of ancient sources and illustrated with over a hundred photographs, drawings, maps and plans, this book introduces six key areas of ancient Greece: Greek religion, the Olympic Games, Athenian drama, Athenian society, Athenian democracy, and Sparta.
“Renshaw's work presents the history of Rome and its people in an accessible, student-friendly package. The language, although by no means simplistic, never becomes too technical and English translations always accompany Latin terms. He intersperses into the main body of the text a generous number of maps and images.... Both students and instructors will benefit from this text.” Bryn Mawr Classical Review
