Taylor reviewed The long shadow of the ancient Greek world by Ian Worthington (The great courses)
Review of 'The long shadow of the ancient Greek world' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The professor was engaging and provides nice resources. Each lecture has an overall scope, outline, suggested reading, and questions to consider. He frequently had his own “heresies” and explained why there was debate on certain events and figures. It was great to hear the differing opinions. The course covers the archaic and classical periods, ending after Alexander the Great around 300 BC.
