Brasidas
Brasidas
Brasidas var en spartansk fältherre i peloponnesiska kriget (431 f.Kr.-404 f.Kr.), sändes 424 f.Kr till Chalkidike och Makedonien för att bringa därvarande kolonier till avfall från Aten och slog 422 f.Kr. den atenska hären vid Amfipolis. Vid detta tillfälle blev han svårt sårad och dog strax därefter. Sparta hedrade honom som en hero och hans minne firades årligen där och i Amfipolis genom offentliga tävlingslekar, kallade brasideia.

These stories from the history of ancient Greece begin with myths and legends of gods and heroes and end with the conquests of Alexander the Great. The book is accessible and well organized, but it is considerably more detailed than some other introductory texts. It covers Greek history from the age of Mythology to the rise of Alexander, but because of its length we do not recommend it for 5th grade or younger. It is an excellent reference, thoroughly engaging, and a good candidate for a somewhat older student's first foray into Greek history.
