The Riverside Press Cambridge<br />The plan of this book is not only to present a simple outline of the chief events in the history of ancient Greece but also to picture the customs of the people their manner of living and thinking and feeling. So far as the size and scope of the little volume will permit the names of those who were masters in art and literature are introduced not in separate chapters as mere adjuncts to political history but in their natural connection with the annals of their times and ever in accordance with Plutarch's dictum ' Often an action of small note a short saying or a jest shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges or the most important battles." In treating of the wars of Greece I have followed their course as briefly as possible and have given the space often allotted to details of battles to characteristic stories of some of the famous leaders or a description of some one military operation that illustrates the difference between ancient and modern ways of conducting such affairs. In short I have used the wars to illustrate the people and not the people to display the minutiae of the wars<br /> Houghton Mifflin Co. hardcover
