Sailing The Wine Dark Sea: Why The Greeks Matter

I was very impressed by Thomas Cahill. He makes history extremely enjoyable to read - it comes alive right in front of you. He approaches it in a very unique way, more from various concentric areas of life instead of straight chronological events - which I quite liked. The Greeks were a fascinating people, though they definitely had their shortcomings. So much of what we have today is a direct result of that society and it's people that it's very worth being aware of them. Plus, they have always fascinated me personally so it was fun. I look forward to reading more from him.
