A cornucopia of essays on ancient Greece, this Festschrift for Donald Kagan contains 16 substantial essays on politics, war, and history. The collection is divided into two main foci: essays on Thucycdides and the Peloponnesian War and those on the period following the Peloponnesian War. Within the contexts of these two historic eras, the papers represent a variety of topics. Contributors to the volume are Ronald P. Legon, Elizabeth A. Meyer, Peter Krentz, Brook Manville, John Hale, J. E. Lendon, Barry Strauss, Paul Rahe, W. J. McCoy, Charles D. Hamilton, David Rice, Valerie French, Alvin Berstein, Kenneth W. Harl, James Williams, and Jay Bregman. Several essays explore the war itself, including the outbreak of the war and how warfare was conducted, alliances, honor, and strategy. Thucycdides and his outlook on constitutionalism and the end of the war are noted. The essays following the war period analyze Sparta and issues associated with its decline, Alexander’s battle at Granicus, and classical Athens in hindsight. A colorful collection of several aspects of ancient history, this publication will be much appreciated by Classicists and students of military history in the ancient world.
