About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked. Binding is loose with a crack at the margin opposite the title page. A small, closed tear is at the top of the title page. Six pages of ads at the back of the text. From the Author's Notes, "The invasion of Greece by Xerxes, with the battles of Thermopylae, Salamis, and Plataea, forms one of the most dramatic events in history. Had Athens and Sparta succumbed to this attack of oriental superstition and despotism, the Parthenon, the Attic Theatre, the Dialogues of Plato, would have been almost as impossible as if Phidias, Sophocles, and the philosophers had never lived.
