Summary

"Problems in Greek History" by J. P. Mahaffy is a look into the challenges and questions that come up when studying Greek history, especially how historians have understood it over time. The book looks at the customs and society of ancient Greece, asking if the stories we've been told are really true and pointing out that we need to keep learning more to understand Greece's complicated story. The book starts by talking about the problems that come with studying Greek history and mentions that some questions have been around for a long time, like in religion and books. It also talks about how some historians in the past were biased and how we need to look at Greek history in a new way because we have found new information. The aim is to clear up misunderstandings, think about what important historians have done, and show how the way we understand Greek history is always changing, which makes it interesting for both experts and anyone who wants to learn more.
