They invented democracy, atomic theory, and the rules of logic and geometry; laid the foundations of philosophy, history, tragedy, and comedy; and debated everything from the good life and the role of women, to making sense of foreigners and the best form of government, all in the most sophisticated terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut who were they?

Along the way, he introduces the major figures of the age, including Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Euclid, and Archimedes; explores the Greek myths and the role of the gods; provides fascinating insights into everyday life in ancient times; and shows us the very foundations of Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEureka!\u003c\/i\u003e is both entertaining and illuminating, and will delight anyone who ever wanted to know more about our ancient ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849061847276,"sku":"9781782395164","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16652263482822.jpg?v=1759014830","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/eureka-by-peter-jones-9781782395164","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
