Description

A reprint of the Princeton University Press edition of 1972, with new Preface by the writer.

In this powerful contribution to our figuring out of politics in fifth-century Athens, Connor constructs models of Athenian political groupings to give an explanation for the upward push of the “new politicians,” young men who launched a brand new roughly democracy by appealing to the citizenry at large. With Pericles as prototype and Cleon as exemplar of the brand new flesh presser, this engaging work provides crucial insight into the politics of Athens on the height of its power.
