I only read the books on Philip of Macedon. Diodorus's history is chock-a-block with wars, alliances, betrayals.

"in Antient history Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, Diodorus Siculus, Cornelius Nepos, Livy, Sallust, Caesar, Tacitus form such a body as the Student would easily fill up in the after-portions of his [the Latin and Greek teacher's] life." - Thomas Jefferson to Jason Chamberlain, 1 Jul. 1814 [PTJ:RS 7:447-448]

Lewis, 25 Oct. 1825… (mehr)

Early Greek history (480 - 302 BC). Fun stuff if you like that sort of thing, (which I do).
