Starting with the first substantial body of primary sources, the
epics of Homer and Hesiod in the 7th century, and ending with the
fall of Egypt to the Romans in 30BC, this volume describes and
analyzes the development of mediation, arbitration and other ways
of resolving disputes, other than litigation. New translations of
more than three hundred primary sources allow you to decide for
yourself whether the conclusions are valid. For the Greeks,
mediation was the natural first step, the chosen third party taking
the role of adjudicator only when efforts to produce a settlement
had failed - and then swearing an oath and consciously adopting a
different character. In some times and places, for example in
Ptolemaic Egypt, the regular response of the authorities was to
submit a claim to an administrative officer with the instructions:
"Best to mediate; if not.." In Athens, too, in the 4th century BC,
almost all civil claims went not to the courts but to public
arbitrators, men who had just been relieved from military service
in their 60th year. Inscriptions record their names and awards.
Papyrus finds show private arbitration of construction disputes in
3rd century Egypt, with original documents startlingly like those
in contemporary disputes.
