Flight through a pivotal era of Greek history, from democratic upheaval to the sculpted grandeur of Athens.
This authoritative volume examines the rise and fall of the Athenian democracy in the fifth century B.C., weaving political drama, war, religion, and art into a clear narrative. Readers will gain a grounded understanding of the tensions between oligarchy and democracy, the role of Sparta, and the turning points that shaped classical Greece.
The narrative traces the period after the expulsion of the tyrants, the reestablishment of the old order in Athens, and the fragile negotiations that kept the city free. It also surveys Athens’ monumental building program, from the Parthenon to the Propylaea and Erechtheum, and explains how architecture, sculpture, and public festivals reflected political ideals and daily life.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the historic conflict between the East and the West known as the Persian Wars-the first major clashes between these two great civilizations. The author delves into the causes of the war, beginning with the Ionian Revolt in 499 BC, in which Greek cities in Asia Minor rebelled against Persian rule. The narrative follows the course of the war, including the battles of Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea, which were turning points in the conflict. The author also explores the political and military strategies of both sides, as well as the impact of the war on the development of Greek civilization. Through analysis of Herodotus' seminal work, the book sheds light on the significance of this pivotal war, which shaped the course of Western history.
