It's All Greek To Me
The ultimate smart, discerning travel read for anyone going on holiday to the Greek islands... With everything from the Achilles' heel to Pythagoras' theorem, from Oedipus and his complex to Margaret Thatcher and Thucydides, this book aims to unlock the richness of the Greek world and show just how profoundly it has informed our own. Packed with useful cribs - history timelines, a who's who, a guide to the Greek gods, a map for those who struggle to know their Lemnos from their Lesbos - 'It's All Greek to Me' is a bluffer's guide that will give you a helping hand around Greek democracy, the Persian Wars, or the Parthenon.
