A Smaller History of Greece by William Smith is a comprehensive account of the history of Greece, spanning from the earliest civilizations to the fall of the Byzantine Empire. The book is divided into six sections, each covering a different period of Greek history. The first section covers the prehistoric period, including the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. The second section covers the Archaic period, including the rise of Athens and the Persian Wars. The third section covers the Classical period, including the Peloponnesian War and the rise of Macedon. The fourth section covers the Hellenistic period, including the conquests of Alexander the Great and the rise of Rome. The fifth section covers the Roman period, including the Byzantine Empire and the fall of Constantinople. The final section covers the legacy of Greece, including its impact on Western civilization. Throughout the book, Smith provides detailed accounts of key events, figures, and cultural developments, as well as insights into the political, social, and economic structures of ancient Greece. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal introduction to the history of Greece for students and general readers alike.Issuing from their mountain district between Thessaly, Locris and Phocis, they overran the greater part of Peloponnesus, destroyed the ancient Achaean monarchies and expelled or reduced to subjection the original inhabitants of the land, of which they became the undisputed masters. This brief statement contains all that we know for certain respecting this celebrated event, which the ancient writers placed eighty years after the Trojan war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
