The encyclopedia of the Greek World traces the magnificent artistic achievements of Greek society and its religion and mythology, the theatre, literature, philosophy, science, technology, athletics and sport. Explore Ancient Egypt's awe-inspiring temples, pyramids and tombs and discover how archaeological sites and hieroglyphics cast light on the sacred rites and rituals of a unique and sophisticated society.
