Athens and Sparta: Constructing Greek Political and Social History from 478 B.C. (Croom Helm Classical Studies) Book

Athens and Sparta deals not only with the established area of Greek political history, but also with some of the most important aspects of Greek social history, a subject which is winning increasing recognition. The author sets out the Greek source material in detail, with a full set of references. Meeting a long-felt need, he explicitly demonstrates many of the techniques of criticism and reconstruction which historians apply to this ancient evidence. Critical in spirit throughout, yet still communicating a deep respect for Greek intelligence, Powell provides a close study of the leading Greek thinkers, and an outline of the principles of psychology, both ancient and modern. His analysis successfully illustrates the practical wisdom and cunning of the chief Greek communities, Athens and Sparta.Read More
