Description

These collected papers construct a distinctive view of classical Athens and of Athenian democracy, a view which takes seriously the evidence of settlement archaeology and of art history. This evidence both casts new light on traditional questions and enables new questions to be asked, questions in regards to the experience of being an Athenian citizen, how the institutions of democracy affected the Athenian economy, and how the rituals of religion related to the rituals of democratic politics. Unlike books on Athenian democracy which center of attention at the Assembly and Council, this book gives full weight to ladies in addition to men, slave in addition to free, and the agricultural worker in addition to the leisured man about the town. Robin Osborne’s work has been in the vanguard of the resurgence of interest in Athenian law and Athenian religion; these essays are each and every placed of their scholarly context, and point the direction for future research.
