The Oxford History of the Classical Greek World: Volume I: The Environment and Resources

The Oxford History of the Classical Greek World (OHCGW) offers a new comprehensive account of the history and culture of ancient Greece in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE.Over seven volumes, the series deals with all aspects of the Greek world during this seminal period of Classical antiquity, from the Persian Wars to the Age of Alexander the Great.The scope is broad both in geographic and temporal terms.Ancient Greece is typically understood as the Aegean Sea and its littoral regions, with an emphasis on the southern end of the Balkan peninsula.OHCGW pays close attention to this space but also explores developments in the larger Greek world, including much of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions.In doing so, the series accounts for the tight interplay between Greek and non-Greek cultures.It also moves away from traditional narratives, crafting an account that is appropriate for a twenty-first-century global audience.
