Summary

This book, like the first of the series the Book of the Ancient World, was used in its original manuscript form by one of my history classes. It carries on the story of the way in which man has been learning how to live from the time of the coming of the Greeks to the loss of Greek independence in 146 BC. The spirit of a nation is expressed, and its history is recorded in three ways: in its political history, in its literature, and in its art. The aim of this book has been to use such parts of the political history of the Greeks, of their literature and of their art, as seem to have been the outward and visible signs of the spirit that inspired them. This book is only intended as an introduction to the history of Greek civilization, and the difficulty of my task has been to decide on what to omit. Everyone will not agree with me as to what I have taken and what I have left, but my aim will have been accomplished if the book should create a desire to know something more of the great heritage which has come to us from the Greeks.
