Summary "Il tramonto di una civiltà, vol. 2: O la fine della Grecia antica" by Corrado Barbagallo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the reasons behind the decline of ancient Greek city-states such as Sparta and Athens, exploring their ultimate fall from glory and the socio-political factors contributing to their demise. This volume serves as a continuation of Barbagallo's comprehensive examination of ancient Greek history, particularly focusing on the various wars and their profound impact on Greek society and culture. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the incessant wars that plagued ancient Greece. Barbagallo illustrates the relentless cycle of conflict spanning centuries, highlighting major military engagements and their catastrophic effects on political stability, demography, and the economy. He discusses the consequences of warfare on agricultural production, economic systems, and societal structures, explaining how a culture deeply rooted in municipal independence ultimately faced ruin due to its perpetual state of battle. The text emphasizes the intertwined fates of war, civic responsibility, and financial burdens, painting a vivid picture of a civilization in decline, driven to seek the dominion of a more powerful empire for the sake of peace.
