"History of Greece, Volume 02 (of 12)" by George Grote is a comprehensive historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume primarily covers the legendary period of Greece, detailing the mythological narratives leading up to the historical transformation of the region and significant events such as the return of the Herakleids and subsequent migrations. Additionally, it addresses the socio-political changes and territorial shifts that occurred as various Greek tribes established themselves in Peloponnesus. The opening of the work begins by recounting the return of the Herakleids to Peloponnesus, following their earlier exile. It delves into the mythical foundations of key families within Greece, notably the Perseids and Pelopids, and the alliances formed during their attempts to reclaim their ancestral lands. The text explains the dynamics of this legendary period, introducing figures such as Hyllus, Têmenus, and Kresphontês, and depicts how these legendary narratives set the stage for the eventual emergence of historical Greece. The discussion includes the implications of these myths for understanding the social and political institutions that later characterized the Dorian states.
