The Greek World, 479-323 B.C.

"The Greek World 479-323 BC" has been an indispensable guide to classical Greek history since its first publication. Simon Hornblower has comprehensively re-written and revised his original text, bringing it up-to-date for a new generation of readers. The extensive changes include: two important new chapters - Argos, and the Peloponnesian War; the incorporation of further primary sources; more than thirty new illustrations; the insertion of user-friendly subheadings; and a completely updated bibliography. With valuable coverage of the broader Mediterranean world in which Greek culture flourished, as well as close examination of Athens, Sparta, and the other great city-states of Greece itself, this third edition of a classic work is a more essential read than ever before.
