“A leading authority on Athens, Rhodes has written a superb narrative of Classical Greece for upper-level undergraduates: lucid, concise, and balanced.  Welcome additions to the second edition are chapters on life and culture, and brief selections from contemporary sources.”
Kenneth G. Holum, University of Maryland

“Rhodes provides an excellent introduction to the history of the Greek world in the fifth and fourth centuries BC. Of particular importance is the clarity of the narrative and the consistent citation of the primary source material.”
Hugh Elton, Trent University

 “P.J. Rhodes’ second edition of A History of the Classical World 478-323 BC is superior to its nearest competitors for the university and non-specialist audience, and noticeably improved from the first edition, e.g., smoother transitions into new topics; the addition of two new chapters on culture and society; the reader-friendly use of shaded boxed inserts of primary sources; more illustrations, maps, figures, and a new glossary.  This book will set the standard for introductions to the history of Classical Greece.”
Glenn R. Bugh, Virginia Tech
