In this new edition of Ancient Greece, Dillon and Garland provide translated sources from the Greek world, from the earliest inscriptions and the first lines of Greek literature to the death of Alexander the Great, covering all the main historical periods and social phenomena of archaic and classical Greece.
The material is taken from a variety of sources: historians, inscriptions, graffiti, law codes, epitaphs, decrees, drama, and poetry. It includes the major literary authors, as well as a wide selection of non-Athenian writers. While focusing on the main cities of ancient Greece – Athens and Sparta – the sourcebook also draws on a wide range of material concerning the Greeks in Egypt, Italy, Sicily, Asia Minor and the Black Sea. Ancient Greece covers not only the chronological, political history of the ancient Greek world, but also explores the full spectrum of Greek life through topics such as sexuality and gender, social class, ethnicity, labour, and religion. This new edition has been updated to include recently discovered inscriptions and documents found since the previous edition, with an updated introduction and bibliography to take account of the last decade of scholarship. The volume also includes new and additional maps, as well as images to highlight the importance of considering non-textual sources.
Ancient Greece: Social and Historical Documents from Archaic Times to the Death of Alexander the Great, fourth edition remains a comprehensive introduction for students to the sources for the ancient Greek world. While primarily aimed at undergraduates, it is also suitable for use in schools, and is accessible for students with no background in historical or classical studies.
