Great Overview
It's a quick listen and gives you a great overview of ancient Greece, however it does tend to veer off from ancient Greece from time to time.

It is indeed an interesting guide to Ancient Greece. The depiction of the great Philosophers and Kings made this book hard to put down.

Excellent text, great service.
Any additional comments?
While the book is a well-researched and high level overview of the history of Greece, due it's attempt to cover a long piece of history, it often covers topics in a way that feels too brief.

This book is purely an overview.
Any additional comments?
The author is not given as much attention as he should. I assume because the author was trying to focus more on what was happening in Greece during Alexander's reign. I think that this is one of the strengths of the book.
