The supremely accessible culmination of decades of research on the influence of the Greeks beyond their home territory from an eminent scholar From Britain's most distinguished historian of ancient Greek art comes this account of the influence of Greek communities and their culture through Central Asia, India, and Western China, from the Bronze Age to the rise of Islam. John Boardman examines a wealth of art and artifacts as well as literary sources to reveal the remarkable influence of Greek culture on peoples-Anatolians, Levantines, Persians, Asiatics, Indians, and Chinese-whose civilizations were far older, with their own strong traditions in government, the arts, and daily life.
