""In Greek history," says Mr. Robinson, "little that happened mattered much; it is what the Greeks thought that counted." It has counted so much, indeed, that no one of us can enter into his European cultural inheritance without some knowledge of what the Greeks thought. Study of the Greeks transcends antiquarianism: their experience is permanently relevant and perennially capable of providing illumination and direction for our own spiritual problems. It is upon this illumination that Mr. Robinson has focused his book; his aim is to present the aspects of Greek history that are of abiding and direct interest to the thoughtful modern. In the sense that a span requiring six stout volumes of the Cambridge Ancient Hstory is here dealt with in fewer than two hundred pages, this is a popularization; but it is a popularization of the right sort, done by a mature scholar whose more technical work compels respect for his general interpretations."--Foreword

Excerpt from A Short History of the Greeks: From the Earliest Times, to B. C. 146 The only excuse for adding another to the many histories of Greece is the hope that the writer has been able so to state the old story - modified by recent studies and discoveries - as to suit the needs or tastes of certain classes of readers and students. In a book of this size it is impossible not to curtail or omit much that is interesting and even important. The aim of the writer, in selecting the topics to be dwelt upon, has been to choose those which best illustrate the political life and intellectual activities of the Greeks wherever they lived, not only in Greece proper, but in the larger Greece of Italy, Sicily, and Asia. To do this at all adequately in so short a space it was often necessary to reduce details as to particular cities and districts to a very low standard. The writer has wished to treat Greek History in a wide Hellenic spirit, but in spite of good resolutions he has found it as impossible, as others seem to have done, to avoid giving Athens the lions share in the story.

A Short History of Greek Literature provides a concise yet comprehensive survey of Greek literature - from Christian authors - over twelve centuries, from Homer's epics to the rich range of authors surviving from the imperial period up to Justinian. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to the extraordinary creativity of the archaic and classical age, when the major literary genres - epic, lyric, tragedy, comedy, history, oratory and philosophy - were invented and flourished. The second part covers the Hellenistic period, and the third covers the High Empire and Late Antiquity. At that tine the masters of the previous age were elevated to the rank of 'classics'. The works of the imperial period are replete with literary allusions, yet full of references to contemporary reality.

Classical Greece and its legacy have long inspired a powerful and passionate fascination. The civilization that bequeathed to later ages drama and democracy, Homer and heroism, myth and Mycenae and the Delphic Oracle and the Olympic Games has, perhaps more than any other, helped shape the intellectual contours of the modern world. P J Rhodes is among the most distinguished historians of antiquity. In this elegant, zesty new survey he explores the archaic (8th - early 5th centuries BCE), classical (5th and 4th centuries BCE) and Hellenistic (late 4th - mid-2nd centuries BCE) periods up to the beginning of Roman hegemony. His scope is that of the people who originated on the Greek mainland and Aegean islands who later migrated to the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and then (following the conquests of Alexander) to the Near East and beyond. Exploring topics such as the epic struggle with Persia; the bitter rivalry of Athens and Sparta; slaves and ethnicity; religion and philosophy; and literature and the visual arts, this authoritative book will attract students and non-specialists in equal measure.
