In a corner of time, long before our own days began, there exists a land of myths and marvels, of heroes and philosophers, a peculiar place known as Ancient Greece.If you're picturing solemn philosophers debating the meaning of life, warriors with abs that could grate cheese and mythical gods with too much time on their hands, you're not entirely wrong. But A.C. Dunne's "Ancient Greece: Those Old Greek Guys Knew a Thing or Two" isn't about to serve you the same reheated tales from your school days. Instead, imagine a world where events often take peculiar turns and facts occasionally wear disguises.
