Indeed, at first glance these peoples might have nothing in common except for their profound impact on our own world. In these comprehensive readings, however, we understand how all people struggled to define their relationship with their rulers, their gods, and their neighbors. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrimary Sources for Ancient History, Volume I: The Ancient Near East and Greece\u003c\/em\u003e is a comprehensive selection of ancient writings to supplement a narrative history. Beginning with the Old Babylonian Kingdom of nearly four millennia ago and moving chronologically and geographically to the Egyptian Pharaohs, the dispossessed Jewish nations, the fractured city-kingdoms of Ancient Greece, to end with Alexander's domination of the known world, this book is comprehensive in scope. Every major period and people has at least one reading. From the Law Code of Hammurabi engraved on a stone pillar to scraps of Greek poetry, from Babylonia epics to tallies of food at religious festivals, these readings allow the personalities and actions of tyrants, philosophers, poets, and gods to take center stage. The same events and leaders can be seen through different peoples and viewpoints, giving a rich perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Ancient Near East and Greece\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable resource for understanding the forces - religious, political, and cultural - that have developed the modern world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 418\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 18, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760681845024,"sku":"9781480954250","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/361a6afc1cc6ed3ff843c34f7cd8cc80.webp?v=1780186743","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/primary-sources-for-ancient-history-volume-i-the-ancient-near-east-and-greece-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
