History of Greece, Volume 12 (of 12)
This twelfth and final volume of George Grote's History of Greece covers the reign of Alexander the Great and the end of Greek independence. It begins with the destruction of Thebes and follows Alexander's campaigns through Asia, the battle of Issus, the siege of Tyre, and the conquests that took him to India before his death at Babylon. Grote then returns to Greece itself, tracing the Lamian War and the loss of liberty under Macedonian rule, and closes with the Greeks of Sicily and Italy under Agathocles and with the outlying Greek cities. A liberal historian and admirer of Athenian democracy, Grote views Alexander's conquests as the end of free Hellas.
