The Will of Zeus: A History of Greece from the Origins of Hellenic Culture to the Death of Alexander

Stringfellow Barr

Role: Author

Written by a founder of the Great Books Program in Annapolis.

In beautiful, eloquent prose Stringfellow Barr traces Greek history from the Homeric Age through the death of Alexander. Barr, historian, and former head of St. John’s College in Maryland, intends for this volume “to help bring about direct encounter or re-encounter between the Greeks and my reader.”
