Synopsis

Offering translated source material from Plutarch and Thucydides and illustrated with maps and photographs, this book covers the period in the 5th century BC from the end of the Persian Wars to the Peloponnesian War and looks at the development of Athens as a city, democracy and head of an empire through the lives of two leading citizens, Cimon and Pericles. There are special features on Athens' buildings, government, the importance of the trireme and other topics. This is a prescribed text in the MEG (SCP) GCSE Classical Civilization syllabus, and is relevant to other GCSE, A-level and A/S level syllabuses in Classical Civilization and Ancient History.
