New History of the Peloponnesian War
A New History of the Peloponnesian War is an ebook-only omnibus edition that includes all four volumes of Donald Kagan's acclaimed account of the war between Athens and Sparta (431–404 B.C.): The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War, The Archidamian War, The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition, and The Fall of the Athenian Empire. Reviewing the four-volume set in The New Yorker, George Steiner wrote, "The temptation to acclaim Kagan's four v…
Men of Bronze
This book takes up one of the most important and fiercely debated subjects in ancient history and classics: how did archaic Greek hoplites fight, and what role, if any, did hoplite warfare play in shaping the Greek polis? In the nineteenth century, George Grote argued that the phalanx battle formation of the hoplite farmer citizen-soldier was the driving force behind a revolution in Greek social, political, and cultural institutions. Throughout t…
Men of Bronze
The Hoplite Debate
This chapter takes a more detailed look into the hoplite debate. It shows how modern historians of ancient Greece have come to develop a grand narrative. This “orthodoxy” explains the rise of the early polis in terms of a dramatic change or “revolution” in arms, armor, and tactics; the military revolution became a driving force behind the emergence of the characteristic political and social structures of the Greek state. A central part of the the…

The Archidamian War
This book, the second volume in Donald Kagan's tetralogy about the Peloponnesian War, is a provocative and tightly argued history of the first ten years of the war. Taking a chronological approach that allows him to present at each stage the choices that were open to both sides in the conflict, Kagan focuses on political, economic, diplomatic, and military developments. He evaluates the strategies used by both sides and reconsiders the roles play…

The Fall of the Athenian Empire

The Peace of Nicias and the Sicilian Expedition
Why did the Peace of Nicias fail to reconcile Athens and Sparta? In the third volume of his landmark four-volume history of the Peloponnesian War, Donald Kagan examines the years between the signing of the peace treaty and the destruction of the Athenian expedition to Sicily in 413 B.C. The principal figure in the narrative is the Athenian politician and general Nicias, whose policies shaped the treaty and whose military strategies played a major…

Alexander to Actium
Yale University
I would like to think I am best known for my wisdom and learning, but in truth such fame as I have derives from my being a reputed conservative who is also dean of Yale College. That was the reason news of my appointment appeared in the Wall Street Journal and the National Review, which doesn't usually happen to deans of Yale College, and doesn't help them much when it does. What had I done to be considered so unusual? It seems I had a very dark …

Tr HE institution of ostracism, because of its unique character and its importance in the history of fifth century Athens, has been an object of interest and controversy since ancient times and has not yet lost its fascination.

The Dates of the Earliest Coins
Since about 1950 the view that the earliest coins were struck in Lydia no earlier than the last third of the seventh century B.C. has gained influence and by now has reached the status of orthodoxy. Consequently, the dates of the earliest Greek coins have been moved down to a time after 600 B.C., and the ancient traditions connecting early Aiginetan coinage with Pheidon of Argos and a change in Athenian coinage with Solon are generally rejected. …

The speeches in Thucydides and the Mytilene debate
T here are few arguments of longer standing in the scholarship on Thucydides than the one concerning the speeches in his History , and none is more important for understanding it and its author. The main question is: did Thucydides try to reproduce the arguments put forward by the speakers on each occasion as accurately as he could, or did he feel free to invent arguments and even whole speeches? In spite of the long debate there is little agreem…
Studies in the Greek Historians
The historians considered in this volume lived between the fifth century BC and the third century AD. They came from areas as far apart as Syria and Sicily and they had in common the Greek language and the Greek tradition of historical writing. They include authors who, though not strictly historians, shed important light on the tradition. Some contributors consider the value of their subjects as historical sources, others deal with problems of h…
