  • Werkelijk een goede inleiding

    Positieve punten

    • Toegankelijk
    • Compleet

    Erg volledige, maar zeer leesbare beschrijving van de Griekse oudheid. Elk hoofdstuk kan afzonderlijk worden gelezen. Er komen geen Griekse lettertekens in voor, dus voor iedereen te lezen. Zeer geschikt voor iemand zonder gymnasiale achtergrond om de Griekse oudheid in één keer te leren kennen.
