The Cambridge Ancient History, Volume 6: The Fourth Century B.C.

Volume VI of the Cambridge Ancient History covers the years from the collapse of the Athenian empire, the attempt by Sparta to rule Greece, through the rise of Macedon, and the campaigns and death of Alexander the Great. The volume treats the politics and economy not only of old Greece but also of the Near East and the western Mediterranean. It has sections on the continued development of classical art and the formation of the philosophical schools in Athens. This second edition, totally replanned and rewritten, is a full and reliable guide to the advances in scholarship of the last 65 years.
