The Story of Ancient Greece: A Volume of the Delphian Project
This volume of The Delphian Project is based on 'The Story of Greece' from Book 2 of The Delphian Course.
Learning of the history of ancient Greece helps us to understand the roots of modern civilisation. From the earliest migrations, through the founding of Sparta and Thebes to the conquests of Alexander the Great, this book provides a wholesome introduction. The Story of Ancient Greece draws upon other literary works including poetry and translations of ancient texts and features illustrations throughout. Comprehensive footnotes help clarify detail, while the Topical Outlines and bibliography provide helpful insights for students and lifelong learners.
Originally published in 1911, The Delphian Courses was a 10 volume anthology designed to inspire self-study akin to an extended college degree. The Delphian Project aims to update the original content of The Delphian Society publications to provide a 40+ volume anthology of a Liberal education organised by subject matter. Each volume of The Delphian Project focuses on a specific subject within the Western Canon, from Ancient Civilisations through to the arts and modern literature.
In addition to the original content, these volumes contain the editor's footnotes; an extensive bibliography (with links to texts within the Public Domain); additional maps, diagrams, photographs or images, and Topical Outlines to assist a deep understanding of the subject matter.
