"A thoughtful and measured treatment, especially valuable for undergraduates. Beats its rivals for sheer thoroughness and sagacity."
––David Whitehead, Queen s University Belfast
"A reliable history, with an up–to–date bibliography concluding each chapter... well–fitted for an undergraduate survey course in the classical world." (Choice)
Peter Rhodes is one of the most formidable living scholars of Classical (5th and 4th centuries BC) Greece and especially of the political institutions of the Athenian democracy Rhodes s typically clear, sober and detailed accounts of the 5th–century Athenian empire, the Atheno–Peloponnesian War and the 4th–century Second Athenian League may well become the first port of call for undergraduate essay writers and more enduring resources for their mentors. (Times Higher Education Supplement)
"This volume is therefore a valuable resource for any teacher of this period of Greek History, so one for the departmental library would be helpful, and at university level any undergraduate would find that it provides an excellent overview." (Journal of Classics Teaching)
"Rhodes has written a very accessible work on the classical Greek world ... highly recommendable and very suitable for undergraduates, not only as an introduction to the Greek classical world but also as a textbook for the proper methodological approach." (Scholia)
"This book demonstrates a breadth of scholarship but remains easy to read and understand." (Ancient West & East)
Readers of every variety, but especially those who take their ancient history seriously, owe a great debt to Peter Rhodes for a book which is a joy to read and which, because of its meticulous scholarship, deserves to become the first book a historian of Classical Greece turns to when seeking information that is thoroughly grounded and clearly explained.
(Blaise Nagy, New England Classical Journal)
The author describes the years which witnessed the flourishing of democracy in Athens; the establishment of the Athenian empire; the Peloponnesian War, which involved the whole Greek world; the development of Macedonian power under Philip II; and the conquests of Alexander the Great.
His account combines narrative with analysis, and deals with major social, economic and cultural developments as well as political and military events. Rhodes details the evidence on which his narrative is based, which includes inscriptions, coins and material remains, and outlines the considerations which have to be borne in mind in using this evidence.
