The website, despite having a humble appearance, has a massive amount of information. It covers many topics in Archaic and Classical Greece, going over its archaic period, then, describing the histories of the two most famous city states, Sparta and Athens. It then has a page describing the events of the Persian Wars in great detail. The next page gives information about the Delian League, the alliance formed to stop the Persians from conquering all of Greece. After the Delian League, the site describes the First Peloponnesian War. Then, the Athenians became especially wealthy and gained an almost imperial rule over Greece in a section called “The Empire.” The section after describes Athens in its “Golden Age,” under the political influence of Pericles, then takes a dramatic shift into the downfall of Athenian culture in The Peloponnesian Wars. In The Spartan Hegemony, it describes the control the Spartans had over Greece, then the Spartans loss of control and the rise of Thebes over control of Greece. It then launches into the history of when Greece was for the most part without any great powers in The Second Athenian Empire. Then Greece reached its greatest influence during The Hellenistic Age, under the rule of Philip and Alexander. It also has sections on Greek Philosophy, and famous philosophers.
