Mary Beard's style makes for a great read, and she successfully blends a larger scope with charming details of everyday life. I wanna learn more about Greece in its classical heyday, touching on politics, philosophy, warfare, etc, but I'm unsure where to start. Are there any books that are reminiscent of Beard's book on these subjects? Thanks a lot in advance.
In you didn't see it and not one come to give you a specific answer you can look at the book from the reading list in the side bar: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/books/europe#wiki_ancient_greece
