The narrator obviously has something against Alexanders wife Roxanne.He mispronounces her name wrongly over and over again.Surprising since its still a common name.

Exhaustingly deep. I loved it. It paints a vivid picture of the history. I recommend this title for those wanting a good overview of Greek history during this period.

The story itself is not bad, it provides a good overview of and introduction to ancient Greek culture. The narration is not the best. It frequently sounds robotic. That being said, I never had any issues understanding what was he was saying, it was just a little boring to listen to.

Good introduction on the subject

I grabbed this book because it was a required reading for one of my college courses, and why wouldn't you choose an audio book versus reading the physical book. After listening to this and getting what I needed out of it I was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed the book on a casual level as much as a scholarly level. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in ancient history.

Great Read for the Casual & Scholarly Reader
