Excerpt from Greek History Professor swoboda has won so high a rank among students of classical antiquity that it would be superfluous, and indeed presumptuous, for his translator to recall that distinguished scholar's excellent works to the memory of the learned reader; and the little History now presented in English dress, though addressed to a less academic audience, is fully equal to the author's reputation. It has the rare merits of succinctness and lucidity, however imperfectly these ex cellences may be conveyed in translation and in addition it brings the history of Greece down to the present day. To most readers the story of ancient Greece is a fairy tale from olden times, at best half romance, and severed by an im passable chasm from the reality of the modern age. This conception is thoroughly false; the history of the Greeks, like that of the Jews, to which it has manifold points of likeness, has passed without a break from the classical into the imperial, the medieval, and the modern eras, and bids fair to become no mean chapter in the story of the nations that has yet to be unfolded.

Excerpt from A Source Book of Greek History Among the more difficult questions are those touching the relationship of the sources. I have given a few examples of this kind, quoting from three sources, at times, that the pupil may have a chance to see that they often draw from one another, and that it is only by the agreement of independent sources that the truth is determined. One of the main purposes of this critical work is to make the pupil comprehend the uncertainty and unreliability of much of our information upon Greek history, and that this is due to the character of the evidence with which we are obliged to work. A further purpose is to bring out the idea that in history the only authority is the source, and that the writer of a historical narrative cannot take refuge behind the dogma of infallibility, but must prove all that he asserts by the citation of evidence.

Rather than a simple history book this is instead focussed on the classic historians and their histories. This is an essential read for anyone who would like to have, or considers themself to have, a classical education. Famous Irish classicist and scholar John Pentland Mahaffy tackles the enormous subject of the history of Greece in his workProblems in Greek History. Famous for his wit, Mahaffy is credited as being a teacher and major inspiration for Oscar Wilde. Mahaffy was an experienced and well-published scholar on the topic of Greek history, having published numerous works pertaining to the topic. Mahaffy's book is a survey of Greek history from the period of ancient Greek myths to the period of Roman-controlled Greece. The focus of this book is not Greece itself, but rather the history of Greece as has been documented by historians. The author examines the main points of the great Greek historians, first highlighting the strengths of their histories before illuminating the deficiencies and inconsistencies present. Mahaffy's voice is authoritative. He does not shy away from potentially controversial subjects and seemingly relishes pointing out errors that exist in accepted histories. His trademark wit is present throughout, making this both an informative and entertaining read. The book concludes with an examination of the lessons one can take from Greek life. It is this portion of the book that may be most interesting to some readers, particularly those less interested in historiography. Problems in Greek History is an important work in the subject. This book provides the reader an opportunity to read first hand the work of one of the most important and influential Irish scholars of his day, as well as providing history enthusiasts and classicists with an interesting work detailing Greek history.

Excerpt from Greek History for Young Readers MY aim in writing this little book has been to provide a first Greek History for pupils to Whom the old legends of the gods and heroes are not quite unfamiliar. As a link between the tales of mythology and the more serious and advanced histories, I trust it may facilitate the introduction of Greek History teaching into the lower and middle forms of schools, and also serve as a home reading-book for some of the many boys and girls who love the stories of the past.

Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 1 Though we can add nothing to the existing records of Greek History, the estimate placed upon their value, and the conclusions drawn from them are constantly changing, and for this reason the story which has been told so often will be told anew from time to time, so long as it continues to have an interest for mankind - that is, let us hope, so long as mankind continue to exist. The present work is intended for readers who are acquainted with the outlines of the subject, and have some knowledge of the Greek language. It has been written in the belief that an intelligible sketch of Greek civilisation may be given within' a brief compass - not with the h0pe of throwing new light on 01d obscurities, or quoting fresh evidence where all the evidence has been long ago collected.

Excerpt from Outlines of Greek History: With a Survey of Ancient Oriental Nations The purpose of this book is to give to young students a general idea of the growth and character of the civilization of ancient Greece. As it is intended to form, with the author's Outlines of Roman History, a complete elementary course in ancient history, it contains a brief introduction indicating the relation of history to civilization in general, and referring to the primitive culture with which civilization may be said to begin. It also contains a preliminary sketch of the progress of civilization before the time of the Greeks among the ancient Oriental peoples.

Excerpt from History of Greece Minor 5 and Greeks were a single nation long a ans and Hindoos had separated from them; and therefore their languages are much more like one another than either of them is to the language of the German or the Hindoo. Some of the races in the west of Asia Minor seem to have been originally much like the Greeks; and in very early times it is probable that men crossed from the coast of Asia Minor to Greece, and founded kingdoms on the Greek coast. Afterwards bodies of Greeks settled on the Asiatic coast and therefore, though European Greece is cal'ed Greece Proper, the west coast of Asia Minor (firs: Map) was equally called Greece, for the people who lived there were Greeks, and were mixed up it: all that happened in Greek history. The Greeks did not call themselves Greeks but hezyz/zes and any district in which Hellenes lived was called Eel/as (rams), whether it was in Europe, Asia, or Africa. We shall see how adventurous a people the Greeks were, and how they-founded colo nies in distant parts of the Mediterranean, and on the Shores of the Black Sea.

Excerpt from The History of Greece, Vol. 2 In the same measure in which the Greek settlements had overspread every coast, the mainland of the Greeks had continued to narrow and decrease. For the Greek nationality was so essentially based on a particular civilisation, that all the members of the Greek race who took no part in its progress, however near in respect of their habitations, appeared to be excluded from the nationality; whereas the remotest regions in which a fortunate settlement had enabled Greek civilisation to fix its roots belonged in every sense to the Greeks. After this fashion the land of Greece had separated from the body of the mountain-country stretching to the north of the AEgean; in other words, the peninsula-country had separated from the mainland. In Epirus a number of tribes akin to one another first possessed a common sanctuary, in connexion with which they afterwards received a common name (vol. i. p. 104). The sacred oak of Dodona put forth its leaves as late as the age of the Antonines; nay, the oracle of Zeus survived for centuries the end of the history of the Greek people, and, as its primitive sanctuary, always remained an object of veneration.
