Download or read book Hellenica Royal Collector s Edition Annotated Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket written by Xenophon and published by Royal Classics. This book was released on 2024-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xenophon's Hellenica is a Classical Greek historical narrative divided into seven books that describe Greco-Persian history in the years BCE 411-362. The first two books narrate the final years of the Peloponnesian War from the exact moment in time at which Thucydides' history ends. The remaining books, three to seven, focus primarily on the Spartans military and political machinations as the dominant city-state in Greece after the Pelopessenian wars end. The Hellenica also covers the rise of Thebes as a major military power, and the brief period known as the Theban hegemony. Many consider this a very personal work, written by Xenophon in retirement on his Spartan estate, intended primarily for circulation among his friends, for people who knew the main protagonists and events, often because they had participated in them. It is one of the principal sources for the final seven years of the Peloponnesian War not covered by Thucydides, and the war's aftermath. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Download or read book The Campaigns of Alexander Royal Collector s Edition Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket written by Arrian and published by Royal Classics. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Campaigns of Alexander stands as a seminal work in the annals of classical literature, providing the most comprehensive account of Alexander the Great's monumental campaigns to conquer the Persian Empire from 336 to 323 BC. Composed in the second century AD during Emperor Hadrian's reign, this historical narrative, complete in seven books, delves into the military strategies and exploits of Alexander, starting from his ascension to the Macedonian throne. Arrian aimed to provide a meticulous military history, drawing primarily from the contemporary but now-lost accounts of Ptolemy and Aristobulus, and for the latter parts, from Nearchus. His narrative seeks to challenge and correct the prevailing "Vulgate" version of Alexander's reign, thereby offering a more nuanced and perhaps more accurate portrayal of the legendary conqueror's campaigns. Through The Campaigns of Alexander, Arrian not only commemorates Alexander's military genius but also contributes significantly to the understanding of ancient historiography, making his work an invaluable resource for historians and classical scholars alike. Included are more than 5,000 indexed page numbers and almost 1,000 footnotes. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
