Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Present Thus may be explained to some extent the sudden promi nence of the city of Thebes. The life and government of the Athenians recall to our mind the countries which Nature has made fertile by many and great rivers. The life and constitution of Sparta recall the lands in which art and indus try, by an economical use of the few streams running through them, and by the construction of various canals, have suc ceeded in making fertile even the most arid plains. But the life and constitution of the Thebans were for a long time almost unproductive; until, from a powerful sentiment of liberty and ambition stirring the lowest and apparently in sensible depths, there suddenly burst forth a living spring which changed the desert into a garden.

Download or read book A History of Greece written by George Grote and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 1017 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grote's History of Greece is one of the classic works of historical interpretation and scholarship. George Grote - banker, MP and a founder of London University - was the first historian to give a high value to the Greek creation of democracy, and this aspect of his work is closely relevant to current debates about democracy in our times. This abridgement of the original twelve volume work, which was made in the early years of the century and published by George Routledge and sons, is now available again and makes accessible the essential Grote. In a new and original introduction, based on the latest research into Grote and into Greek history, Paul Cartledge places Grote's history in its intellectual context, discusses its salient features and traces its subsequent reception over the past century and a half.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 2 In the same measure in which the Greek settlements had overspread every coast, the mainland of the Greeks had continued to narrow and decrease. For the Greek nationality was so essentially based on a particular civilisation, that all the members of the Greek race who took no part in its progress, however near in respect of their habitations, appeared to be excluded from the nationality; whereas the remotest regions in which a fortunate settlement had enabled Greek civilisation to fix its roots belonged in every sense to the Greeks. After this fashion the land of Greece had separated from the body of the mountain-country stretching to the north of the AEgean; in other words, the peninsula-country had separated from the mainland. In Epirus a number of tribes akin to one another first possessed a common sanctuary, in connexion with which they afterwards received a common name (vol. i. p. 104). The sacred oak of Dodona put forth its leaves as late as the age of the Antonines; nay, the oracle of Zeus survived for centuries the end of the history of the Greek people, and, as its primitive sanctuary, always remained an object of veneration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 2 of 2 Hen Lysander had demolished the walls and fortifications of Athens, it still te mained for him to reduce the island of Samos, which was honour-ably distinguished by its being the last settlement in the east that opposed the o ambition of Pericles, and was now the last which submitted to the arms of Lysander. The Spar tan government, with an unaccountable infatua fion, ruled the islands and cities that voluntarily accepted the yoke, or reluctantly surrendered to the power of Lacedaemon, in an equally arbitrary and tyrannical manner. In every place there existed some hostile factions, which danger or ambition had fostered, and the party that seemed to possess most craft and least patriotism, was always preferred by Lysander. Over the cabal which thus appeared likely to favour the views and the interest of Sparta, he placed a Lacedze monian governor, on whose severity to the sub.

Book excerpt: Herodotus, the great Greek historian, wrote this famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians in a delightful style. Herodotus portrays the dispute as one between the forces of slavery on the one hand and freedom on the other. This work covers the rise of the Persian influence and a history of the Persian empire, a description and history of Egypt, and a long digression on the landscape and traditions of Scythia. Because of the comprehensiveness of this work, it was considered the founding work of history in Western literature. A must-have for history enthusiasts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Earliest Times to the Present We have already alluded to the character and life of the Bœotians and Thebans. The Thebans were certainly not among the noblest tribes in Hellas. They possessed neither the advantages which the Athenians derived from their matchless intelligence, nor those which the Spartans obtained through their wonderful political and military organization. The very sentiment of Hellenic autonomy was for a long time weak among the Thebans. They had openly united with Xerxes and Mardonius during the invasion of the Persians. But the Thebans were brave soldiers, and possessed souls, if not always noble, yet ever resolute; bodies, if not prepossessing, yet athletic and well prepared, by exercise and thorough drill from early childhood, for every military duty. The Thebans in the fifth century B. C. repeatedly obtained the honor of having defeated the Athenian hoplites, then in their glory. At Koroneia they showed the Spartans themselves that they were not unworthy opponents. This warlike spirit and dexterity only had need of some powerful motive to accomplish great deeds.
