Summary: "History of Greece, Volume 07 (of 12)" by George Grote is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an extensive examination of ancient Greek history, focusing on significant events and political developments, particularly during the Peloponnesian War. The opening of this volume is set around the time of the Peace of Nikias, detailing the complex political landscape among the Greek city-states as they navigate alliances and tensions after a period of hostilities. The beginning of this volume discusses the aftermath of the Peace of Nikias, which was established after a war, aiming to restore relations between Athens and Sparta while addressing territorial concessions and political allegiances among various states. It highlights the reluctance of key allies such as the Corinthians, Megarians, and Bœotians to accept the peace, which sparks new political dynamics. The section elaborates on Sparta's challenges to maintain control over its allies, Athens' political maneuvering under leaders like Nikias, and the rising ambition of Argos as it aims to reclaim its influential position in Peloponnesian affairs, setting the stage for further conflict and alliance shifts in this tumultuous period of Greek history.
