Summary "History of Greece, Volume 05 (of 12)" by George Grote is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues the detailed narration of Ancient Greek history, focusing on pivotal events from the Battle of Marathon to the Peace of Nikias, and elaborating on the political and military strategies of both Athens and Persia during this tumultuous period. The opening of this volume begins with a preface that outlines the historical timeline covered, emphasizing the sustained conflict between Greece and Persia. It sets the stage by revisiting the aftermath of the Persian defeat at Marathon and the subsequent preparations for invasion by Xerxes, the new Persian king. Grote introduces key figures, such as Darius and Xerxes, detailing their motivations and the extensive military logistics involved in the Persian campaign against Greece. The narrative foreshadows the exploration of religious interpretations alongside the political maneuvers that ultimately shape the course of events leading to notable battles in the Greco-Persian Wars.
