From the personal library of the noted English historian of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, Professor Peter Morris Green, now of Iowa City, Iowa, 99 years old, nearly blind, but still working, in this case on a new translation and with annotations, of Herodotus, his favorite historian. From the publisher's blurb, "The Second Athenian League has traditionally been viewed as an organization with idealistic beginnings that were quickly forgotten, as the 'second empire' came to exhibit most of the abuses of the first. According to this hypothesis, Athens had learned nothing from the collapse of its fifth century Empire, and the Greek defeat by the Macedonians at Chaironeia in 338 BC was both inevitable and essentially beneficial to the Greeks. Cargill challenges this attitude, meticulously re-examining literary and epigraphical evidence on the Second Athenian League in an attempt to reach a responsible interpretation of the fundamental nature of this large multi-lateral alliance. At the centre of his study are a new text and translation of the most important of the sources, the stele of the Decree of Aristoteles of 377B.C." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xvii [1], 1-215 pp. Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
