"Most of us assume that two cities - Athens and Rome - dominated the classical world and set Western culture on its present course. But there was a third city that, at its height, dwarfed both of these in scientific and artistic achievement: Alexandria of Egypt. While Athens and Rome their influence through trade and war, Alexandria sought to conquer the mind." "This saga explores the birth, death, and legacy of this miraculous city. Authors Justin Pollard and Howard Reid have brought this legendary town back to life, creating a treasure trove of our intellectual and cultural origins."--BOOK JACKET.
