In this book, well-renowned international scholars discuss topics
related to various aspects of the history of the Battle of Salamis,
inspired by the democratic origins of the Greek naval victory at
Salamis. They present deductions from the battle that can be useful
for today, and seek answers for a more prosperous and brighter
future for our societies. Their analyses are divided into five
parts in the book: 1) The democratic implications of the Battle of
Salamis; 2) The strategies that lead to monumental naval victories;
3) The institutional implications of the Battle of Salamis; 4)
Various societal aspects of the Athenian democracy; 5) The
interconnections between two glorious battles: Thermopylae and
Salamis. This book is the first out of two edited volumes as a
sequel of an international academic conference titled Salamis and
Democracy: 2500 Years After that took place between October 3rd and
October 5th, 2020, on the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of the
great historical event of the Battle of Salamis, which saved Greek
culture and the newly founded democratic regimes throughout the
Hellenic world during the Classical period (508-323 BCE). The book
is a must-read for scholars and students of history, political
science, economics, and law, as well as policy-makers interested in
a better understanding of classical, ancient, and political
history, democracy, strategy, governance, and social choice.
