from the Battle of Marathon to the conquests of Alexander the Great
Brice, Lee L.
Examines the military history of the Greek world from the Greco-Persian Wars through the conquests of Alexander the Great, discussing how warfare tactics and politics influenced Greek culture and still influence the western world and its Greco-Roman culture.
Examines ancient Greek thought and their beliefs about knowledge, with sections on the following topics: philosophy, politics, the pursuit of knowledge, major figures, and currents of thought.
As the harsh wind holds the Greek fleet trapped in the straits at Aulis, frustration and political impotence turn into a desire for the blood of a young and innocent woman, blood that will appease the gods and allow the troops to set sail.
