"The Historians' History of the World" by Henry Smith Williams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This extensive twenty-five-volume series presents a comprehensive narrative of national rise and development, relying on the works of over two thousand writers from various eras. Volume IV specifically covers the history of Greece, detailing its evolution leading up to the Roman conquest. The beginning of this volume sets the stage by delving
into the reign of terror in Athens following its capitulation, outlining the political maneuvers of oligarchs such as Lysander and Critias. It introduces the concept of the Thirty, who sought to restore a form of governance aligned with Spartan ideals, resulting in widespread oppression, executions, and a disbanding of the prior democracy. The opening portion evokes a vivid picture of Athens' desolation and the violent political landscape, foreshadowing the turbulence that characterized this pivotal period in Greek history.
