From Solon to Socrates<\/em>\u00a0is a magisterial narrative introduction to what is generally regarded as the most important period of Greek history. Stressing the unity of Greek history and the centrality of Athens, Victor Ehrenberg covers a rich and diverse range of political, economic, military and cultural issues in the Greek world, from the early history of the Greeks, including early Sparta and the wars with Persia, to the ascendancy of Athens and the Peloponnesian War.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dr Ehrenberg\u2019s mastery of ancient sources and modern scholarship is beyond cavil: nothing seems to escaped this vigilant eye. Scarcely a page, moreover, fails to provide some illuminating comment on Greek life and letters, the fruit of a lifetime\u2019s study and reflection.<\/strong>\u2019\u00a0–\u00a0The Times Literary Supplement<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
