What is Creators, conquerors, and citizens : a history of ancient Greece about?

We Greeks Are One In Blood And One In Language; We Have Temples To The Gods And Religious Rites In Common, And A Common Way Of Life. So The Fifth-century Historian Herodotus Has Some Athenians Declare, In Explanation Of Why They Would Never Betray Their Fellow Greeks To The Enemy, The Barbarian Persians. And He Might Have Added Further Common Features, Such As Clothing, Foodways, And Political Institutions. But If The Greeks Knew That They Were Kin, Why Did Many Of Them Side With The Persians Against Fellow Greeks, And Why, More Generally, Is Ancient Greek History So Often The History Of Internecine Wars And Other Forms Of Competition With One Another? This Is The Question Acclaimed Historian Robin Waterfield Sets Out To Explore In This Magisterial History Of Ancient Greece. With More Information, More Engagingly Presented, Than Any Similar Work, This Is The Best Single-volume Account Of Ancient Greece In More Than A Generation. Waterfield Gives A Comprehensive Narrative Of Seven Hundred Years Of History, From The Emergence Of The Greeks Around 750 Bce To The Roman Conquest Of The Last Of The Greco-macedonian Kingdoms In 30 Bce. Equal Weight Is Given To All Phases Of Greek History
