Author Description

Excerpt from A History of Greece, Vol. 3 of 12: From the Earliest Period to the Close of the Generation Contemporary With Alexander the Great I have thus 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 011 and near to the Isthmus - Corinth, sikyon, and Megara, as they existed at this same period.
