The contributors in this volume present a systematic survey of the
struggles of Athens, Sparta and Thebes to dominate Greece in the fourth
century - only to be overwhelmed by the newly emerging Macedonian
kingdom of Philip II. Additionally, the situation of Greeks in Sicily,
Italy and Asia is portrayed, showing the geographical and political
diffusion of the Greeks in a broader historical context.
This book will provide the reader with a clearly drawn and vivid picture
of the main events and leading personalities in this decisive period of
Greek history.
