Description
Ancient Greece: A Complex and Turbulent History The history of ancient Greece is often marked by conflict and competition between city-states, with many Greeks siding against fellow Greeks in favour of external powers. This phenomenon has puzzled historians for centuries, and acclaimed historian Robin Waterfield sets out to explore its causes in this comprehensive narrative. Covering seven hundred years of Greek history, from the emergence of the Greeks around 750 BCE to the Roman conquest of the last Greco-Macedonian kingdoms in 30 BCE, Waterfield gives equal weight to all phases of Greek history - the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods. He incorporates the most recent scholarship by classical historians and archaeologists, asking his readers to think critically about Greek history. With a fresh and engaging approach, Waterfield presents a magisterial account of ancient Greece, shedding new light on this complex and fascinating period in human history.
