This volume challenges preconceptions of Athenian politics and
history. It sets out to demonstrate that the widely received view
that Hellenistic Athens and her political leaders were radically
different from their Classical counterparts is fundamentally
flawed. Through a re-examination of the internal politics of
Hellenistic Athens, both in terms of its key institutions and its
political leaders, After Demosthenes provides a comprehensive
analysis of Athenian political life from 322-262 BC. Drawing on
literary and epigraphic evidence the book identifies those who
participated in the governing of Athens, and their motives for
doing so, and redefines the nature of Athenian political ideology
in the process. The leading political figures, each of whom can be
identified with a particular ideological viewpoint, are explored in
a series of biographical studies. Examining the intellectual
origins of modern scholarly criticism of democracy in the Athens of
this period, this volume shows how the politics of scholarly
discourse have distorted modern views of Hellenistic Athens.
