John Potter was a 17th-century Canterbury archbishop who, in addition to his theological works, published numerous works of classical history. One such work was his ‘Archaeologiae Graece’ or ‘The Antiquities of Greece’ which proved to be highly popular throughout the English-speaking world.

 

This work focuses on the military and political powers of ancient Greece with a heavy emphasis on war and Alexander the Great. Note that this work contains highly desirable engravings depicting Greek ruins, ancient Olympic athletes (discus, wrestlers, etc.), and much more.

 

Potter also regularly references Homer and his approach to mythological heroes like Achilles and Agamemnon in the Trojan War.
