“This course is best described as a political or military history of Greece. Poets, philosophers, and artists are mentioned only when they are commenting on politics or history. Aristotle's "Constitution of Athens" is the only time he shows up; Plato's "Republic" --- but no mention of Plato's involvement with the tyranny that briefly took over Athens during his time --- Aristophanes plays enter in solely through a scene involving a disgruntled bumpkin waiting for a meeting of the Athenian Assembly, Euripides is mentioned only for taking refuge in Macedonia.
Mind you, the political history is great. You'll want to supplement the lectures with readings from Thucydides and Herodotus since Kagan doesn't cover things they cover well, but Kagan will also inspire you to do so.”
