The Greek World 479-323 BC

Reviews of the third edition (2002):
'To write a standard history which contains the essential material and yet is interesting and says things which have not been said before is one of the hardest tasks. Hornblower has performed it excellently.' - Times Literary Supplement
'Packed with worthwhile ideas and impressive erudition' - Classical Review
'An undergraduate textbook which neither the professional ancient historian can afford to ignore nor the interested non specialist fail to read with profit and pleasure' - History Today
'This fully revised version is a welcome addition to Routledge's History of the Ancient World.' - Contemporary Review'The first edition became an essential text for students of the period, and this is a welcome new edition, which is more than simply a revision of the original.' - JACT Review
'Hornblower's excellence as historian, and his wide and responsible use of sources, together with attractive packaging, reestablishes tehe book's position as a benchmark for historians ... It is packed to the brim ... with an abundance of erudite observations.' - Scholia Reviews
