The Greek World 479-323 BC (The Routledge History of the Ancient World)

The Greek World479–323 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.
