”'This book is an essential read - it’s much more than a book about ancient Greece! It’s about civilisation, where we came from, and who we are. It’s so lightly and humorously written and yet packed with wisdom and learning. I can’t recommend it highly enough!” - Victoria Hislop, bestselling author of The Figurine and The Return
-
”'Papakostas both captures and captivates the imagination in this brilliantly conceived revisit of the old 'what have the ancient Greeks done for us?' trope … Read, laugh out loud, learn - and be elevated” - Paul Cartledge, bestselling author of The Spartans: An Epic History
- ”'Papakostas uses social and traditional media to make history and archaeology irresistibly fascinating to all, even to those who were unbearably bored with the subjects at school” - Marie Claire Greece
-
”'Papakostas "breaks the rules" and brings archaeology to the general public with humour and light heartedness” - HuffPost Greece
