Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative Victorian study of
ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846,
established the view 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 explains
Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven
throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the
Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 2 continues with the legendary
age of the Greeks, paying special attention to the Iliad and
Odyssey, and begins the story of historical Greece, setting the
geographical and chronological coordinates and introducing the
reader to the world of the Peloponnesus.
