In ancient Athenian democracy there were one hundred and
thirty-nine official demes, or recognized population centres, which
formed the foundation of the political system introduced by
Kleisthenes in 508/7 BC. Enrolment in one of these demes was a
prerequisite for citizenship and participation in the Athenian
socio-political system. Acharnai was by far the largest of the
Kleisthenic demes and one of the best known from the ancient
sources, most notably Thucydides and Aristophanes' comedy
Acharnians; it therefore provides a rare opportunity for a
comprehensive investigation into the workings of a rural deme. In
this volume, Kellogg combines literary, prosopographical,
epigraphical, and archaeological evidence to create an encompassing
overview of this dynamic and historical settlement with a
well-developed identity and unique traditions. Such an
investigation also functions as a corrective to a 'one size fits
all' approach to rural Attica, which privileges the city and its
political and economic opportunities over the countryside where
most of the Athenian citizenry lived. This volume constitutes a new
and distinctive contribution to the study of ancient Athens, and is
a major advance in the analysis of the critically important role of
the Attic demes in the economic, political, social, and religious
structures of Athenian democracy.
