Edith Hamilton's first book!

”Five hundred years before Christ in a little town on the far western border of the settled and civilized world, a strange new power was at work... What was then produced of art and of thought has never been surpassed and very rarely equalled, and the stamp of it is upon all the art and all the thought of the Western world...”—Edith Hamilton

The Greek Way is American classicist Edith Hamilton's first book about ancient Greek civilization. Hamilton was 62 years old and retired as an educator when she wrote it and the book was an instant success.
