The streams of Greek history in the fourth century are highly
controversial. Sandwiched between the Classical fifth century and
the Hellenistic period, the era has invited various readings, most
prominently the verdict of decrepitude and decline. Recent
discoveries, however, indicate that the period was not simply
illustrative of the political, social, and economic weaknesses of
the Greek city-state. This book examines the fourth century from an
area with its own regional dynamics: central Greece, a region often
considered as a backwater for macro-politics. The authors disclose
a vivid tension between regional politics in Boeotia and its
adjacent territories and Greek affairs. They provide a meticulous
and, at times, microscopic investigation into the region's military
and political history, together with detailed analyses of the
topography of the places 'where history was made.' The result is a
dazzling account of Greece's power transition crisis on the eve of
the Macedonian conquest.
