Argos and the Argolid, first published in 1972, presents a study of
the history and achievements of the Argives, who have hitherto been
largely neglected: partly because Classical Argos is overshadowed
by the legends of an earlier millennium, and partly because many of
her monuments and records have been lost. Richard Tomlinson
describes the region, and considers the relationship between the
Argives who claimed Dorian descent and those whose ancestors were
in all probability the inhabitants of the region during the Bronze
Age. In particular, he emphasises the Argives' role as a 'third
force' in mainland Greek history, where they challenged the
supremacy of the Spartans in Peloponnesian affairs. This thorough
treatment is intended to correct the usual bias in favour of the
better documented affairs of Athens and Sparta. It includes an
assessment of Argive military and political organisation, and of
their contribution to the arts of Ancient Greece.
