Athens A History, From Ancient Ideal to Modern City by Robin A.H

An up-to-date accessible history of the phenomenal rise
and fall of the greatest city of antiquity, describing
its rise to pre-eminence and rapid demise as the greatest
of all Greek tragedies. The first history of the city to
continue the story through 1500 years of obscurity to its
romantic revival under Byron's influence and up to the
present day, is eminently qualified to write this book.
A classicist by training, he has translated many of the
key texts for Penguin Classics and OUP, is intimate with
the latest scholarship and travels to Greece every year.
