This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sankey's history is a comprehensive account of Ancient Greece during the 5th century B.C. From the preface:"The period of history covered by this little book is full both of interest and of importance. Athens yet numbered among her sons Socrates, Xenophon, and Thrasyboulos : Sparta at no time in her history had produced more notable citizens than Lysandros and Agesilaos ; and Thebes was lifted for a moment above her Boiotian provincialism by the military genius and broad statesmanship of Epameinondas. But, in addition to the interest which must be felt in the careers of men like these, this epoch has an importance of its own. It was the transition period from the glories of the Athenian empire to the degradation of the Macedonian conquest ; Athens had attempted in vain to weld into something like national unity the exclusive and intolerant city communities of the Hellenic world and the epoch which followed her downfall exhibits the disastrous results involved in the success of the selfish policy of Sparta and the partial failure of the patriotic policy of Thebes. Accordingly, in treating this period, I have tried to bring out clearly the characters of the leading men and the causes of the chief events ; and I have omitted most of the infinitely small details with which Xenophon has filled the pages of his ' Hellenika.' I have, of course, derived the greatest assistance from the works of Thirlwall, Grote, Prof. E. Curtius, and lastly from my co-editor Mr. Cox ; but the narrative is based mainly on Xenophon and Plutarch, and I have attempted to lighten to some extent the charge of dullness so often brought against the ' Hellenika ' by borrowing many of the graphic touches of humour and description which frequently redeem its general dreariness."

Download or read book The Spartan Supremacy 412 371 BC written by Bob Bennett and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparta was a small city which consistently punched above its weight in the affairs of classical Greece, happily meddling in the affairs of the other cities. For two centuries her warriors were acknowledged as second to none. Yet at only one period in its long history, in the late fourth and early third century BC, did the home of these grim warriors seem set to entrench itself as the dominant power in the Greek world. This period includes the latter stages of the Peloponnesian War from 412 BC to the Spartan victory in 402, and then down to the Spartan defeat by the Thebans at Leuctra in 371 BC, where it all began to unravel for the Spartan Empirern Surprisingly few previous books have covered the tumultuous first decades of the fourth century BC, particularly when compared to the ample coverage of the Peloponnesian War. As the authors explain, although the earlier period has the benefit of Thucydides' magisterial history, the period covered here is actually well served by sources and well worthy of study. There are many interesting characters here, including Alcibiades, Lysander, Agesilaus, Pelopidas and Epaminondas, to name but a few. In addition there are several campaigns and battles that are reported in enough detail to make them interesting and comprehensible to the reader. Bob Bennett and Mike Roberts untangle the complexities of this important but unduly neglected period for the modern reader.

Download or read book The Bronze Lie written by Myke Cole and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering Sparta's full classical history, The Bronze Lie examines the myth of Spartan warrior supremacy. The last stand at Thermopylae made the Spartans legends in their own time, famous for their toughness, stoicism and martial prowess – but was this reputation earned? This book paints a very different picture of Spartan warfare – punctuated by frequent and heavy losses. We also discover a society dedicated to militarism not in service to Greek unity or to the Spartan state itself, but as a desperate measure intended to keep its massive population of helots (a near-slave underclass) in line. What successes there were, such as in the Peloponnesian Wars, gave Sparta only a brief period of hegemony over Greece. Today, there is no greater testament to this than the relative position of modern Sparta and its famous rival Athens. The Bronze Lie explores the Spartans' arms and armor, tactics and strategy, the personalities of commanders and the common soldiery alike. It looks at the major battles, with a special focus on previously under-publicized Spartan reverses that have been left largely unexamined. The result is a refreshingly honest and accurate account of Spartan warfare.
