About the book
"Alexandria was the greatest cultural capital of ancient world. Theodore Vrettos now tells its story for the first time in a single volume. His blend of literary and scholarly qualities makes stories that played out among architectural wonders of the ancient world come alive. His central contention that this amazing metropolis created the western mind can now take its place in cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
First sentence: WITHIN A CENTURY after Alexandria was built, it was larger than Carthage and growing so swiftly that is acknowledged no superior, even Rome.
