Publisher's Synopsis
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
- 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.
