During the turbulent last years of the fifth century BC, Athens
twice suffered the overthrow of democracy and the subsequent
establishment of oligarchic regimes. In an in-depth treatment of
both political revolutions, Julia Shear examines how the Athenians
responded to these events, at the level both of the individual and
of the corporate group. Interdisciplinary in approach, this account
brings epigraphical and archaeological evidence to bear on a
discussion which until now has largely been based on texts. Dr
Shear particularly focuses on the recreation of democracy and the
city, both ritually and physically, in the aftermath of the coups
and demonstrates that, whilst reconciliation after civil strife is
difficult and contentious, it is also crucial for rebuilding a
united society. Theories of remembering and forgetting are applied
and offer a new way of understanding the dynamics in Athens at this
time.
