Greek City-States presents from a new point of view the immense and fascinating diversity existing within the unity of the Greek World. Ancient Greece was more than Athens and Sparta; there were hundreds of other city-states, great and small, scattered all around the Mediterranean. Each was sovereign, and each had its individual way of life of which it is fiercely proud. Here Dr. freeman has chosen nine of these city-states, widely different in origin, environment, size, customs, and destiny.....reconstructs their way of life, recaptures their peculiar flavor, and sets their citizens walking and talking once again. In the concluding chapter she suggests the lesson for the modern world which is implicit in these communities.
