Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 4 of 4: From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Generation Contemporary With Alexander the Great The maximum of her second empire, which I have remarked that Athens attained by the recovery of the Chersonese, lasted but for a moment. During the very same year, there occurred that re'volt among his principal allies, known by the name of the Social War, which gave to her power a fatal shock, and left the field compara tively clear for the early aggressions of her yet more formidable enemy' - Philip of Macedon. That prince had already emerged from his obscurity as a hostage in Thebes, and had succeeded his brother Perdikkas slain in a battle with the Illyrians, as king (360 - 359 B. At first, 1118 situation appeared not merely difficult, but almost hope less. Not the most prescient eye in Greece could have recognized, in the inexperienced youth struggling at his first accession against rivals at home, enemies abroad, and embarrassments o] every kind - the future conqueror of Chaeroneia, and destroyer of Grecian independ ence. How, by his own genius, energy, and perseverance assisted by the faults and dissensions of his Grecian enemies, he attalned this inauspicious eminence - will be recounted presently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Generation Contemporary With Alexander the Great It is that general picture which an historian of Greece is required first to embody in his own mind, and next to lay out before his readers - a picture not merely such as to delight the imagination by brilliancy of coloring and depth of sentiment, but also suggestive and improving to the reason. Not omitting the points of resemblance as well as of contrast with the better-known forms of modern society, he will especially study to exhibit the Spontaneous movement of Grecian intellect, sometimes aided but never borrowed from without, and lighting upa small portion of a world otherwise clouded and stationary. He will develop the action of that social system, which, while insuring to the mass of freemen a degree of protection else where unknown, acted as a stimulus to the creative impulses of genius, and left the superior minds sufficiently unshackled to soar above religious and political routine, to overshoot their own age, and to become the teachers of posterity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Greece From Its Commencement to the Close of the Independence of the Greek Nation, Vol. 4 of 4 In other respects too a good deal that is new will be found in this volume. The special attention which I have devoted to Asia Minor is intended to meet the demands of the present day. For chapters 25-27 Th. Reinach's narrative has served me as a guide, his Mithridale Eupator being one of the few works on ancient history which fully come up to the required standard, not only in scholarship but in descriptive skill. On the other hand, I have endeavoured to reduce the importance of Alexandria to more modest dimensions. Finally, I may point out that the self-government of the Greeks under the supremacy of the Kings and the Romans, on which I have laid stress, is a historical fact of some importance, and that consequently the study of this section of ancient history may be more profitable than some authorities of our day seem to think.

Download or read book A History of Greece written by George Grote and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative study of ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846, established the shape of Greek history which still prevails in textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work provides explanations of Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 4 continues the review of Greek contacts in the wider Mediterranean world, and also covers political developments, especially in Athens, from the rise of the Peisistratids to the battle of Marathon.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Generation Contemporary With Alexander the GreatSuch was the first Athenian democracy, engendered as well by the reaction against Hippias and his dynasty as by the memorable part' ncrsbip, whether spontaneous or compulsory, between Kleisthenes and the unfranchised multitude. It is to be distinguished both from the mitigated oligarchy established by Solon before, and from the full-grown and symmetrical democracy which prevailed afterward from the beginning of the Peloponnesian war, toward the close of the career of Perikles. It was indeed a striking revolution, impressed upon the citizen not less by the sentiments to which it appealed than by the visible change which it made in political and social life. He saw himself niarshaled in the ranks of hoplites alongside of new companions in arms - he was enrolled in a new register, and his prop erty in a new schedule, in his deme and by his demarch, an officer before unknown - he found the year distributed afresh, for all legal purposes, into ten parts bearing the name of prytanies, each marked by a solemn and free - spoken ekklesia at which he had a right to be present - his ekklesia was convoked and presided by senators called prytanes, members of a senate novel both as to number and distribu tion - his political duties were now performed as member of a tribe, designated by a name not before pronounced in common Attic life, connected with one of ten heroes whose statues he now for the first time saw in the agora, and associating him with fellow-tribemen from all parts of Attica. All these and many others were sensible novelties felt in the daily proceedings of the citizen. But the great novelty of all was the authentic recognition of the ten new tribes as a sovereign Demos or people, apart from all specialties of phratric or gentile origin, with free speech and equal law; retaining no distinc tion except the four classes of the Solonian property-schedule with their gradations of eligibility. To a considerable proportion of citi zens this great novelty was still farther endeared by the fact that it had raised them out of the degraded position of metics and slaves; while to the large majority of all the citizens. It furnished a splendid political idea, profoundly impressive to the Greek mind - capable of calling forth the most ardent attachment as well as the most devoted sense of active obligation and obedience. We have now to see how their newly-created patriotism manifested itself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
