The core of this book is a collection of essays on which Geoffrey de Ste. Croix was working in the 1960s. They were interconnected in theme, and as numerous cross-references show were envisaged as a single book. A colleague rashly referred to them in 1966 as ‘to be published shortly’; and the essays that now appear as chapters 1–2, 4–5, and 7 existed by then as typescripts with full notes. Chapter 8 too was very likely designed for a place in the volume, since it connects thematically with chapter 1. Publication was delayed by the circumstance that one chapter, entitled ‘The Causes of the Peloponnesian War’, grew into the large book The Origins of the Peloponnesian War (1972). Ste. Croix would probably have returned to the essays on completion of Origins of the Peloponnesian War. [download]
