History of Greece, Volume 02 (of 12)
George Grote, a London banker and radical member of Parliament, devoted much of his life to a History of Greece that became a classic of Victorian scholarship. This second volume completes his treatment of legendary Greece, with the return of the Herakleids, the migrations to Asia Minor and the islands, the chronology of legend, the society depicted in the myths and a long discussion of the Homeric poems. It then opens the history proper: the geography of Greece, the Hellenic peoples, the Dorians of the Peloponnese, the laws of Lycurgus at Sparta, the Messenian wars and Sparta's conquests. Grote writes with critical rigor and a liberal's sympathy. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
