Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) - Neuwertiger Zustand / Mint condition - Einf�hrung / Introduction: This book is intended as a map of Greek history and of the issues that exercise scholars who study it. As a map its primary concern is with the user�s orientation: it attempts not merely to give a view of Greek history, but to enable users to find their own way through Greek history. History is not something that has happened, but something which one makes for oneself. Because this is a map for use, I have concentrated on those areas where readers can readily launch themselves into Greek history with relative ease, that is areas where ancient literary source material is relatively easily accessible and can be made historical sense of with fairly minimal guidance. This has meant more concentration on Athens and Sparta and less concentration on Greek history after the end of the fourth century than a broad and equal survey would have afforded. ISBN 9780415317177
