About This Item
Mcgill-Queen's University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1975. Hardcover. 0773501851 . Dustjacket is protected in mylar. One closed tear along front corner of dustjacket. Rubbing to DJ. Minor rubbing to boards. ; 250 pages; Themistocles (ca. 525 BC-460 BC) was a leader in the Athenian democracy during the Persian War. Themistocles favored the expansion of the navy to meet the Persian threat and persuaded the Athenians to spend the surplus generated by their silver mines on building new ships - the Athenian navy grew from 70 to 200 ships. Despite the importance of this enigmatic figure in Greek history, our knowledge still largely comes from the ancient accounts of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Plutarch. Podlecki provides the first modern comprehensive assessment of Themistocles, based on literary and archaeological evidence. .
