The Greek World 479 323 Bc by Simon Hornblower
A concise overview of Greek history from the aftermath of the Persian Wars to the death of Alexander the Great, examining the political, military and cultural developments that shaped the classical era. It traces the rivalry of city-states—especially Athens and Sparta—the Peloponnesian War, the shifting alliances and diplomacy of the fourth century and the rise of Macedon under Philip II and Alexander, while situating these events within social, economic and intellectual contexts such as drama, historiography, philosophy and art to explain how the classical Greek world was formed and transformed.
