Containing 250 entries, each volume of the Dictionary of World Biography contains examines the lives of the individuals who shaped their times and left their mark on world history. Much more than a 'Who's Who', each entry provides an in-depth essay on the life and career of the individual concerned. Essays commence with a quick reference section that provides basic facts on the individual's life and achievements, and conclude with a fully annotated bibliography. The extended biography places the life and works of the individual within an historical context, and the summary at the end of each essay provides a synopsis of the individual's place in history. Any student in the field will want to have one of these as a handy reference companion.

希臘城邦總是給人浪漫又神祕的印象,希臘神話故事也總是給人綺麗的幻想, 那麼古代希臘城邦的真實面貌會是如何呢? 希臘是西方文明的大搖籃,我們所熟知的奧林匹克運動會、藝術、戲劇、西方哲學等都源自於古老的希臘文化。這個歷史悠久的國度,從無到有,是如何建立起屬於自己的一座座城邦?中間幾經戰爭、分裂、建立與毀滅,逐漸開啟這文明大國。 城邦的特色是小國寡民,各自獨立自治,希臘最多有一千多個城邦,邦與邦之間多是平等的鄰邦關係,而城邦的重要任務是保衛國家的獨立和內部安全,以斯巴達和雅典為代表的希臘城邦,在西元前八世紀建立,從經濟發達各行業逐漸興起繁榮,人人安居樂業,到西元前四世紀起由於公民中貧富差距變大,公民權與土地的關係日趨鬆弛,公民集體內部矛盾增加,公民兵制開始瓦解而逐漸衰落。在這幾世紀間,古代希臘城邦在這條歷史長河中扮演了珍貴且不可或缺的角色。
