| Summary | "The Historians' History of the World, Volume III: Greece to the Peloponnesian War," edited by Henry Smith Williams, is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a larger twenty-five-volume series and focuses on the intricate developments of Greek history leading up to the Peloponnesian War. It examines significant cultural, political, and social milestones in ancient Greece, emphasizing the emergence of city-states, democracy, and notable figures such as Perseus, Lycurgus, and Pericles. The beginning of this volume introduces the scope and importance of Greek history in the broader context of ancient civilizations. Dr. Eduard Meyer, the author of the introductory essay, outlines how Greek civilization, characterized by its unique political and intellectual freedom, flourished alongside the more stagnant eastern cultures. He highlights key periods, from the Mycenaean age to the eventual rise of significant city-states like Athens and Sparta. The opening sets the stage for a deep exploration of Greece's conflicting yet rich historical narrative, rooted in the struggle for independence and the quest for unity among the various polities.
