A Short History of the Greeks : From the Earliest Times, to B. C. 146 PDF
by Evelyn S. Shuckburgh
Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
Histories of Greece is the hope that the writer has been able so to state the old story - modified by recent studies and discoveries - as to suit the needs or tastes of certain classes of readers and students.
In a book of this size it is impossible not to curtail or omit much that is interesting and even important.
The aim of the writer, in selecting the topics to be dwelt upon, has been to choose those which best illus trate the political life and intellectual activities of the Greeks wherever they lived, not only in Greece proper, but in the larger Greece of Italy, Sicily, and Asia.
To do this at all adequately in so short a space it was often necessary to reduce details as to particular cities and districts to a very low standard.
The writer has wished to treat Greek History in a wide Hellenic spirit, but in spite of good resolutions he has found it as impossible, as others seem to have done, to avoid giving Athens the lion's share in the story.
