Violent conflict between individuals and groups was as common in
the ancient world as it has been in more recent history. Detested
in theory, it nevertheless became as frequent as war between
sovereign states. The importance of such 'stasis' was recognised by
political thinkers of the time, especially Thucydides and
Aristotle, both of whom tried to analyse its causes. Violence,
Civil Strife and Revolution in the Classical City, first published
in 1982, gives a conspectus of stasis in the societies of Greek
antiquity, and traces the development of civil strife as
city-states grew in political, social and economic sophistication.
Aristocratic rivalry, tensions between rich and poor, imperialism
and constitutional crisis are all discussed, while special
consideration is given to the attitudes of the participants and the
theoretical explanations offered at the time. In conclusion, civil
strife in the ancient world is compared to more recent conflicts,
both domestic and international.
