Spartans: The World of the Warrior-Heroes of Ancient Greece, From Utopia to Crisis and Collapse – Greek History Books PDF

Cartledge, Paul

Overlook 2003 Dewey Dec. 938

“‘The Spartans’ is a compelling narrative that explores the culture and civilization of the most famous “warrior people”: the Spartans of ancient Greece, by the world’s leading expert in the field. Sparta has often been described as the original Utopia–a remarkably evolved society whose warrior heroes were forbidden any other trade, profession, or business. As a people, the Spartans were the living exemplars of such core values as duty, discipline, the nobility of arms in a cause worth dying for, sacrificing the individual for the greater good of the community (illustrated by their role in the battle of Thermopylae), and the triumph of will over seemingly insuperable obstacles–qualities that today are frequently believed to signify the ultimate heroism.” -Publisher.

The Greeks and Greek Love: A Radical Reappraisal of Homosexuality in Ancient Greece – Greek History Books PDF

Davidson, James N.

Random House 2007

Homosexuality in Ancient Greece remains a central area of debate in the classics, in ancient history and lesbian and gay studies. Greek civilisation centrally underpins our own, providing a basis of so much of the west’s culture and philosophy, yet the Greeks were more tolerant of homosexuality than virtually any other culture, certainly than the western civilisations that followed.

The Republic of Plato – Greek History Books PDF

Davies, J.L. & D.J. Vaughan, transl.

MacMillan 1907 Dewey Dec. 938

“Essentially an inquiry into morality, the ‘Republic’ is the central work of the Western world’s most famous philosopher. Containing crucial arguments and insights into many other areas of philosophy, it is also a literary masterpiece: the philosophy is presented for the most part for ordinary readers, who are carried along by the wit and intensity of the dialogue and by Plato’s unforgettable images of the human condition.” Ancient Greece textbooks pdf.

Stories from Herodotus: A Panorama of Events and Peoples of the Ancient World – Greek History Books PDF

Downey, Glanville, ed.

Dutton 1965 Dewey Dec. 938

“Over 2,000 years ago, a Greek named Herodotus wrote a book that became not only the first one of the greatest of all modern histories, ‘Historia’ (Greek for Inquiries). It had two main themes: The first was a description of the known world, as seen by Herodotus in his wide travels. The second was the story of the Persian Wars, the struggle in which the independence of Greece was established. Because the conflict between Greece and Persia was so decisive for the history of western civilization, Glanville Downey has selected most of the stories for this book from that portion of Herodotus’ work.

In the second place, both by the treatment of these texts and by special studies it covers the work of modern scholars in these fields.

Davis, William S.

“This little book tries to describe what an intelligent person would see and hear in ancient Athens, if by some legerdemain he were translated to the fourth century B.C. and conducted about the city under competent guidance. The year 360 B.C. has been selected for the hypothetical time of this visit, not because of any special virtue in that date, but because Athens was then architecturally almost perfect, her civic and her social life seemed at their best, the democratic constitution held its vigor, and there were few outward signs of the general decadence which was to set in after the triumph of Macedon.” – Author’s Preface.
