What was ancient democracy like? Why did it spread in ancient
Greece? An astonishing number of volumes have been devoted to the
well-attested Athenian case, while non-Athenian democracy - for
which evidence is harder to come by - has received only fleeting
attention. Nevertheless, there exists a scattered body of ancient
material regarding democracy beyond Athens, from ancient literary
authors and epigraphic documents to archaeological evidence, out of
which one can build an understanding of the phenomenon. This book
presents a detailed study of ancient Greek democracy in the
Classical period (480-323 BC), focusing on examples outside Athens.
It has three main goals: to identify where and when democratic
governments established themselves in ancient Greek city-states; to
explain why democracy spread to many parts of Greece in this
period; and to further our understanding of the nature of ancient
democracy by studying its practices beyond Athens.
