McGregor explains how democracy was nurtured in Athens and how effective government was achieved by a balance of open public debate and the role of individual decisive statesmen such as Pericles. This genuinely democratic government brought peace and prosperity to the Athenians and their allies and, as McGregor asserts, contributed to the extraordinary cultural ascendancy of fifth-century Greece. In this straightforward but colourful narrative, McGregor avoids the detailed complexities of scholarly controversy. The Athenians and Their Empire is the only critical study of its kind and will be of equal interest to students, teachers, general readers and travellers with a keen desire to understand the most crucial and fascinating period of ancient Greek history and culture. 607 $aGreece$xHistory 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yAthenian supremacy, 479-431 B.C 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xHistory 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yPeloponnesian War, 431-404 B.C 676 $a938/.04 700 $aMcGregor$b Malcolm Francis$f1910-1989$0487642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780686403321 996 $aAthenians and their empire$9284905 997 $aUNINA
