Mainly political and military history of Greece (mainly Athens) in the sixth and fifth centuries BC, with some glances at social, intellectual and artistic life.
Densely academic prose with a small font. It was sheer stubbornness that kept me going.

- First words
- The title of this book has several implications. The first is purely chronological. The period between Solon and Socrates includes the sixth and fifth centuries, that is to say, the culmination and the end of the archaic age,... (show all) and the finest flowering of the classical age. I do not include the fourth century, in spite of Plato and Praxiteles, because of the decline and change in politics during that period. The second point is that both men, Solon and Socrates, were Athenians.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)All this prepared the way for Alexander and the Hellenistic age.
