Author Description

Excerpt from History of Greece, Vol. 3 The preceding volume brought down the history of Sparta to the period marked by the reign of Peisistratus at Athens at which time she had attained her maximum of territory, was confessedly the most powerful state in Greece, and enjoyed a proportionate degree of deference from the rest. I now proceed to touch upon the three Dorian cities on and near to the Isthmus - Corinth, sikyon, and Megara, as they existed at this same period.
