A timely reassessment of the vital social, cultural, and political
role of the aristocrat in Greek society, this book by distinguished
historian Chester G. Starr provides a concise portrait of the upper
classes and their way of life. Arguing that the influence of the
aristocrat on ancient Hellenic civilization is undervalued by both
modern Western and Marxist scholars, Starr takes a close look at
the social spectrum of ancient Greece, examining the consequences
of the aristocrats' domination of the ancient polis, their
involvement in the patronage of the arts, and their impact on the
structure of religion and on the ancient Greeks' visual perception
of their pantheon of gods. In a final chapter, Starr concludes that
the influence of the aristocratic ideal did not end when ancient
civilization flickered out, but rather was reborn in the
Renaissance and has had powerful effects on the course of modern
Western history.
