To the End of the Fifth Century B.C. Ed.R.Meiggs & D.Lewis (v. 1) (A Selection of Greek Historical Inscriptions) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This revised edition of Meiggs and Lewis's selection of Greek inscriptions (1969) includes 95 texts covering the period from c750 BC up until the end of the Peloponnesian War (404 BC). Each text is presented epigraphically and supplemented with a description of its appearance and location, a bibliography and historical commentary. Many of the inscriptions are Athenian, shedding light on the political institutions of Athens (archons and ostracism for example) and foreign affairs, especially her relations with the allies in the Athenian Empire and her role in the Peloponnesian War. Inscriptions from other city states and areas, though varying in date, present very different institutions and events and aim to help give a more rounded picture of the history of the period.

Review
'On every page the book attests [the editors'] mastery of the learned literature and their expertise in both epigraphy and history.' A. J. Graham, Antiquaries Journal
'the volume gives an excellent presentation of the contributions of epigraphy to the study of one period of Greek history.' J. A. O. Larsen, Classical Philology
'this volume ... will both feed and stir controversy, but should also prove an invaluable teaching aid - an introduction to whole areas of ancient life' H. B. Mattingly, Classical Review
' This book has already been a standard work of reference for both scholars and undergraduates for two decades and requires no additional recommendation.' Classical Bulletin
