''Readings in Ancient History: Greece and the East'' is a book written by William Stearns Davis and published in 1912. The book is a collection of primary sources and secondary readings that cover the history of Greece and the ancient Near East from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period. The author has compiled a range of texts from ancient authors such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon, as well as modern historians, to provide a comprehensive overview of the political, social, economic, and cultural developments of the ancient world. The book is divided into six parts, covering topics such as the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations, the Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the Hellenistic world. The book is intended for students, scholars, and general readers interested in ancient history and provides a valuable resource for understanding the origins of Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
