Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores Greek history from 403 to 362 B.C.E., following the end of the Peloponnesian War that had left Sparta victorious. Against expectations, Sparta abused its power, acting as a tyrant over its allies and oppressing them. The author's astute analysis demonstrates the tremendous resilience of the Greek people during this period. The narrative is particularly rich in detail about Thebes, which gradually emerges as Sparta's rival, and about the fascinating figure of Alexander the Great's father, Philip of Macedon. The work offers not only an insightful look at an important era in Greek history but also a compelling portrayal of the nature of power and its uses and abuses across time.
