This book is the first in-depth study of the classical Athenian
public sphere. It examines how public opinion was created by
impromptu theatrics and by gossip, and how it flowed into and out
of the civic institutions. Athenians did not have hookah bars or
coffee shops but they did socialize in symposia and gymnasia and
workshops, and above all in the Agora. These represented the
Athenian 'street', an informal political space that was seen as
qualitatively different from the institutional space of the
assembly, the council and the courts where elite orators held sway.
The book explores how Athenians of all sorts, such as politicians,
slaves and philosophers, sought to exploit the resources of the
'street' in pursuit of their aims.
