In Chapters 7-9, Gombrich delves into the history of Ancient Greece and its conflicts with Persia. While each of these societies had its own unique culture and history, Gombrich emphasizes their shared influence on today’s world by describing what they left behind, including monuments, religion, writing, technology, and more. He then dedicates Chapters 3-6 to some of the earliest and most impactful early civilizations: the Egyptians, the Mesopotamians, the Jews, and the Phoenicians. Gombrich begins A Little History of the World by laying out how the foundations of human society were built by the innovative Prehistoric humans.
