The fascinating, descriptive, "reader friendly" text is clearly written in terminology easily understandable by non-specialist general readers.

The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Ancient Greece is a very fine reference recommended for casual armchair travelers through time. Enhanced with advice on how to use the book and a section on the proper spelling of Greek names, Sean Sheehan's Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Ancient Greece is an ideal acquisition for school and community library collections.
