Hey, I have been delving into ancient history quite a bit recently, mainly Greek and Roman times (~700 BC up to the collapse of the Roman Empire). I would like to know if you can point me in the right direction in terms of books that aren't biased by their authors one way or another. What I mean is, a book that best describes /shows/ talks about those times periods. I've picked up a few books from Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca. Cambridge Ancient History V. I want to grow that list. That time period is extremely interesting to me, but from my little research on "must read" books, the book description for many books tends to be influenced by the world view of the author of that time period. What I want is simply the facts, so I can make up my own mind.
Thanks.
