The book explores pivotal events in classical politics, highlighting moments that serve as both turning points and insights into ancient political dynamics. It covers significant occurrences, from Theseus's founding of Athens to Augustus's rise to power, emphasizing their dual role in shaping history and revealing deeper truths about ancient governance. By analyzing ancient histories as reflective narratives rather than mere research, the author uncovers how historians intended their works to inform our understanding of the ancient political landscape.
