"History of Greece, Volume 12 (of 12)" by George Grote is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume marks the culmination of a comprehensive examination of Greek history, focusing particularly on the reign of Alexander the Great, his military campaigns, and the subsequent impact on the Greek world. Grote's work delves into the complex dynamics of Macedonian rule over Greece, the resistance of various city-states, and the deep-seated rivalry and political maneuvers that characterize this historic period. At the start of the volume, the author sets the stage following the assassination of Philip of Macedon and the ascension of his son, Alexander. The opening discusses Alexander's age, his education under Aristotle, and his early actions that defined his rule amidst precarious family dynamics and political turbulence. The passage highlights the changing nature of Greek autonomy under Macedonian dominance, as Alexander first consolidates power domestically before moving to quell the burgeoning aspirations for freedom among the Greek city-states. Through his skilled rhetoric and military might, Grote illustrates the formidable challenges Alexander faced in maintaining his father's empire and the looming opposition he would encounter throughout his endeavors.
