From an award-winning historian, the definitive history of classical Greece and the rivalry between its two greatest cities.

"Goldsworthy tells a timely tale of national pride, and he has much to be proud of: Respectful of the somber grandeur of its subject, this book sparkles with wisdom and fury." ―J.E. Lendon, author of Soldiers & Ghosts

No period has more profoundly influenced the Western world than classical Greece, and at its center stood two cities: Athens and Sparta. Side by side, they beat the Persians, the only superpower of that age. Yet later, they spread conflict and destruction throughout the eastern Mediterranean, culminating in the horrors of the Peloponnesian War.

Athens and Sparta tells the definitive history of the relationship between brutal, militaristic Sparta and brash, radically democratic Athens. Eminent historian Adrian Goldsworthy narrates their incredible rise to prominence and how they became allies, rivals, and enemies. Ultimately, Goldsworthy shows that Athens and Sparta were more than competitors vying for power. They were polar opposites in ideology and culture, both driven by the Greek longing to excel, who led radically different experiments in how to run a state.

A remarkable account of ancient Greece at its height, this is the tale of the two cities that helped build it--before almost tearing it apart.

Does the job
Color: Rainy-rainbow - 2.11fl Oz
Very fine glitter and spray. Not a ton of product (the bottle is like 5” tall) but enough for Halloween. It has a really beautiful sparkle and stays on my skin pretty well. Washes off with a washcloth.

Glitter spray does not say on like it says it should it flakes off all day everywhere
It says its that the glitter is suppose to last all day long but it does not, it flakes off very easily and sticks to EVERYTHING but where it is suppose to.
