Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative study of ancient
Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846,
established the shape of Greek history which still prevails in
textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote
employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the
earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and
his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining
the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work provides
explanations of Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and
interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of
the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 6 offers the history of
Greece from the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War in 431 BCE to the
Peace of Nikias.
