Reviews

[Erik Graff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chester G. Starr's book offers a conservative, mainline check on those scholars who are more prone to speculation about the Greek-speaking world from the period of Homer to the Persian Wars. Here is traced the differentiation of classes and the growth of poleis.

[Midori · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the good classical books on the development of the Greek socioeconomics from the simpler to more complex forms.
