This is the fourth edition of Hornblower's now classic textbook, 'The Greek World 479-323 BC', the first edition of which was published in 1983. The work deals with the history of the Greek world from the end of the Persian wars to Alexander's death in 323, with an emphasis on military and political history in particular. A central goal of this text is to emphasise regional diversity in the Greek world, as well as to a provide a clear narrative of the period it considers. This new edition retains the detailed analysis and broad regional coverage of the three previous editions, while adding comprehensive updates of the notes and expanding the regional coverage through the inclusion of a new 'sub-chapter' on the islands of the Greek world. |
