The whole Greek story, properly told. George Willis Botsford's standard survey runs from the Bronze Age palaces to the Hellenistic kingdoms: Minoans and Mycenaeans, colonization, Sparta and Athens, the Persian wars, the Peloponnesian catastrophe, then Philip and Alexander. You will discover the scholarly backbone that generations of students were built on, thorough and steady and clear. If you want one Greek history, this is the one. Press play and settle in.
