Sparta dominates Greece with its victory in the Peloponnesian War, democracy in Athens is overthrown, and power is taken over by the Thirty Tyrants. The great King of Sparta, Agesilaus, almost overthrows the Persian state in Asia – yet another opportunity lost by the Greeks.
A new hegemony emerges in the Greek world: the Thebans with the brilliant and all-Greek Epaminondas and his comrade Pelopidas – but this opportunity for Greek unity also fades away. The Greeks fight among themselves once again, thus completing the decline of the first Hellenism. Paparrigopoulos offers in this book of his admirable History striking descriptions of the Greek drama. Philip and Demosthenes appear – two rivals with different visions for the nation's course.
