A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This book gives an accessible account of classical Greek history, from the aftermath of the Persian Wars in 478 bc to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 bc. It covers political and military events, including: the flourishing of democracy in Athens; the Peloponnesian war, which involved the whole Greek world; and the conquests of Alexander the Great. It also deals with social, economic and cultural developments as well as political and military events; combines analysis with narrative; and, details the evidence on which the account is based and the considerations which have to be born in mind in using this evidence. The book is written by P. J. Rhodes, who has been teaching and writing on Greek history for over 40 years. The book's clarity and directness make it ideal for course use.
