Agathocles (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Agathocles The subject of the present book, which was awarded the Prince Consort Prize in January 1908, was chosen by myself, and approved by the Electors. I have written throughout from the original authorities, but I have tried to make full use of modern writers, and to weigh the merits of their theories. On the critical side, Schubert's Geschichte des Agathokles has been most useful, as will be evident to anyone reading my first chapter. Among other writers, I have found Freeman and Holm, and, for Geography, Tissot, of great value. I saw most of the historical sites in Africa and Sicily in 1906. My views as to the battle of the Himeras were formed on the spot. All the illustrations but two are from my own photographs.
