The art of classical Greece, and its political and philosophical ideas, have had a profound influence on Western civilization. It was in the fifth and fourth centuries BC that this culture - material, political and intellectual - reached its zenith, and it is this period that is examined in this book. This text is part of the "Fontana History of the Ancient World" series that also includes "Early Greece" by Oswyn Murray.

J.K. Davies was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Wadham College, Oxford, and spent 1961-2 as Junior Fellow at the Centre for Hellenic Studies (Harvard University), Washington D.C.
