This is a fantastic brief overview of Ancient Greece. I wasn’t sure unfortunately if the narrator was actually human or a computer program.

Brilliant book read by a sleepy robot

This was a bit textbooky, and in places felt a bit like Wikipedia, but that's kinda the point - a solid linear narrative history. That it calls out key themes and is at pains to point readers to the original sources is a solid bonus.

Let down slightly by workmanlike narration with occasional glaring shifts in sound quality and reading tone. (I may be being unfair, but I also struggle with American voice artists for European history... Just feels weird, somehow.)

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The material was engaging enough that the reader's somewhat unenthusiastic (but very clear and we'll spoken) tone didn't make much difference to me.

Good overall review of Ancient Greece

This is the best introduction to Ancient Greece. It is comprehensive (for an introductory work) and exceptionally well structured.
