What is Espionage and Treason in Classical Greece : Ancient Spies and Lies about?

"This history of ancient diplomacy demonstrates how the ancient Greeks used guest-friendship as a mechanism of diplomacy. Ancient proxenoi were the equivalent of contemporary consul-generals and they served some of the same purposes. The proxenoi conducted the diplomatic affairs of the state they represented and looked after the interests of the city-state that had adopted them. In times of war, the proxenoi maintained spies and supplied intelligence on the movements of fleets and armies."-- page 4 of cover
