A History of Greece continues with the bitter struggle between Sparta and Athens for mastery of the Hellenic world. Though Sparta finally emerges victorious, her victory soon turns to ashes with the ascendancy of Thebes and the still greater power of Philip of Macedon. Philip unites an unwilling Greece along with his iron policy. Athens gives up her independence, but maintains an aloof intellectual and artistic leadership in the Greek world. Across this magnificent fabric of history strides Alexander the fantastic, who takes the banner of Hellenic culture completely across the Persian Empire and into India itself, a sensational event that altered the course of human history. This is followed by the Hellenistic age and the ultimate subjugation of Greece by Rome. An incredible epic, indeed. This is Volume 2 of A History of Greece (Unabridged). Perhaps you have heard Volume 1?
