The art of classical Greece, and its political and philosophical ideas, have had a profound influence on Western civilization. It was in the fifth and fourth centuries BC that this culture - material, political and intellectual - reached its zenith, and it is this period that is examined in this book. This text is part of the "Fontana History of the Ancient World" series that also includes "Early Greece" by Oswyn Murray.
J.K. Davies was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Wadham College, Oxford, and spent 1961-2 as Junior Fellow at the Centre for Hellenic Studies (Harvard University), Washington D.C. He then became Dyson Junior Fellow in Greek Studies at Balliol College, Oxford, and subsequently Lecturer in Ancient History at St Andrews. He was Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at Oriel College, Oxford from 1968 until 1977, and is now Rathbone Professor of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology at the University of Liverpool. He is the author of Athenian Propertied Families 600-300 BC (1971).
