This book, originally published in 1900, was the major work of the
classical historian J. B. Bury. It became a standard textbook on
the topic of ancient Greek history to the death of Alexander the
Great for almost a century, and in its updated form is still
studied today. Bury had studied philosophy as well as classics at
Trinity College, Dublin, and had travelled widely in Greece, but
until the publication of this work was better known for his
two-volume History of the Later Roman Empire (also reissued in this
series), and many of his other works also deal with the Byzantine
period. He describes in the preface his decision to limit the
extent of his history: 'compression into a single volume often
produces a more useful book'. This magisterial and very readable
synthesis of political and military history encompasses nearly
three millennia and the whole of the Mediterranean and Near East.
