Author Description

Excerpt from The Second Athenian Confederacy The scope of the following dissertation is, I hope, adequately explained in the Introduction. The subject was one of those set for the Thirlwall Prize of 1905, and it is in accordance with the regulations framed for the prize that the Essay is now published. A word of explanation as to the map may here be given. It is intended to illustrate the extent of the Confederacy at the time of its greatest prosperity. I have marked Thessaly as belonging to the Confederacy, since it is reasonable to believe that it was at the time almost completely under the inuence of Jason of Pherae. The 'probable members' are so indicated on the ground that Athens as mistress of the Aegean would hardly fail to absorb its islands into her Confederacy.
