Product Description

An indispensable guide to classical Greek history since its first publication. Now Simon Hornblower has comprehensively rewritten and revised his original text, bringing it up to date for a new generation of readers.

From the Back Cover

The Greek World 479-323 bc has been an indispensable guide to classical Greek history since its first publication. Now Simon Hornblower has comprehensively rewritten and revised his original text, bringing it up to date for a new generation of readers.

The extensive changes made include the addition of two important new chapters - on Argos, and the Peloponnesian War - and the incorporation of further primary sources. Also new are more than thirty illustrations, the insertion of user-friendly subheadings, and a completely updated bibliography.

With valuable coverage of the broader Mediterranean world in which Greek culture flourished, as well as close examination of Athens, Sparta, and the other great city-states of Greece itself, this third edition of a classic work is a more essential read than ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The essential book for the period.., 1 Dec 2003

By	"freakin_nutcase" - See all my reviews

The Greek World is, quite simply, a handbook for anyone even remotely interested in ancient Greek civilisation. It is easy to read, yet provides a terrific amount of detail into the various cities and cultures in the Peloponnesus. This third edition has been extensively updated, and the easy-to-use footnotes point to many other interesting books which expand on the subject. It's the perfect book to cultivate an interest in Ancient Greece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for Ancient History Students, 8 Jul 2008

By	F. H. Jones (Nottingham, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this book at the start of my First year taking Ancient history and Classical Studies, and just graduated (with a first!) and used this book in all three years.

Hornblower provides a clear and concise summary of events throughout the formative classical period which proved very useful as I came to grips with the subject area in my first year. On top of this, it is written with enough scholarly skill that I still used this book in my third year. Although obviously not completely comprehensive it covers most major themes and provides a great starting point for further study, aided by the brilliant bibliography.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 15 Mar 2006

By	A. Harden (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the only guide to Greek history you'll ever need. Some of the finer points of chronology are disputed, but Hornblower's account is always objective and his careful referencing enables any attentive scholar to go further on their own.
