Author Description

Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 2: From the Ionian Revolt to the Thirty Years' Peace 500-445 B. C IN this volume I have been compelled to exceed the limits which I proposed to myself when I began. It is, indeed, quite impossible to give an adequate account of a period so important as the Fifth Century b.c. In Greek History within the compass of a single volume. And so far as I can see, it will be necessary to proceed on this extended scale for the rest of the Work.
