Description
Athens and Sparta provides a comprehensive account of the two key Greek powers in the years after 478 BC. This period saw Athens rise from city-state to empire following the devastation of the Persian Wars, while tensions with their rivals, Sparta, culminated in the Peloponnesian Wars. The book explores the radically different political systems of these superpowers, including Athenian democracy and life in Sparta, as well as the lives of Athenian women. It also guides students in how to think about history, demonstrating techniques used in interpreting ancient sources. The third edition includes discussion of the latest scholarship on this crucial period in Greek history, with a renewed bibliography and photographs of Greek sites and archaeological objects. This book is an invaluable tool for students of the history of Greece in the fifth century BC, covering key events such as the rise to power of Athens and their rivalry with Sparta.
