The Cambridge Ancient History Volume 4: Persia, Greece and the Western Mediterranean, c.525 to 479 BC

Description

The first section of this volume examines the Persian empire, the regions it comprised, and its expansion under Cyrus, Darius, and Xerxes. In Greece, Sparta attained maturity as the leader of a military coalition and Athens passed through a period of enlightened tyranny to a moderate democracy of dynamic energy and intelligence. Given the contrast between Greek idealism and Persian absolutism a clash between the two empires was inevitable. Important chapters deal with the revolt of Ionian Greeks against the Persians, and the two Persian invasions of Greece including epic battles at Marathon, Tthermopylae, and Salamis. The book's third part turns to the Western Mediterranean: Italy becomes a significant factor in the area's historical development and is explored in terms of its peoples and languages from the Bronze to the Iron Ages.








Probably the best post on the site yet, these Cambridge Ancient Histories. Thanks a lot, tot167! One problem with volume 4 though: part of the 1st chapter (Persian Empire, p. 1-138) and the bibliography seem to be missing. There are in total 674 instead of 949 pages. Any chance of a reupload?

Thank you for this excellent series, same here with the doubt of pages numbers, the PDF file have 674 but in the information of the book said 949.

Thank you again for this great work to share these wonderful books with us.
