Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

A good general history is "Egypt, Greece and Rome" by Charles Freeman!.

On Egypt:
Grimal, Nicolas--A History of Ancient Egypt (scholarly)
Clayton, Peter A!.--Chronicles of the Pharaohs (conveniently lists the pharaohs in chronological order)
Kemp, Barry--Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization
Shaw, Ian--The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt
also the studies by Joyce Tyldesley!.

On Greece:
Bury, J!.B!.--History of Greece (classic)
Kagan, D!.--The Peloponnesian War
James Davidson--Courtesans and Fishcakes: Consuming Passions of Classical Athens
Meier, Christian--Athens
Works by Michael Grant, John Boardman, Paul Cartledge

There are dozens more, but this is a start!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Go to your local library!. They will have a ton!!
Right now for a class, I'm reading Civilizations of the Middle Ages, a revised edition by Norman Cantor, but that is about civilizations in the middle ages!. However, it is quite helpful and I have learned a lot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As above-Greece is well covered form pre bronze age to the death of Alexander by that masterpiece "A History of Greece" by Bury and Meiggs-the 4th edition is well revised and a must have!Www@QuestionHome@Com
