Named for a goddess, epicenter of the first democracy, birthplace
of tragic and comic theatre, locus of the major philosophical
schools, artistically in the vanguard for centuries, ancient Athens
looms large in contemporary study of the ancient world. This
Companion is a comprehensive introduction the city, its topography
and monuments, inhabitants and cultural institutions, religious
rituals and politics. Chapters link the religious, cultural, and
political institutions of Athens to the physical locales in which
they took place. Discussion of the urban plan, with its streets,
gates, walls, and public and private buildings, provides readers
with a thorough understanding of how the city operated and what
people saw, heard, smelled, and tasted as they flowed through it.
Drawing on the latest scholarship, as well as excavation
discoveries at the Agora, sanctuaries, and cemeteries, the
Companion explores how the city was planned, how it functioned, and
how it was transformed from a democratic polis into a Roman city.
