This volume presents a wide range of literary and epigraphic
sources on the history of the world's first democracy, offering a
comprehensive survey of the key themes and principles of Athenian
democratic culture. Beginning with the mythical origins of Athenian
democracy under Theseus and describing the historical development
of Athens' democratic institutions through Solon's reforms to the
birth of democracy under Cleisthenes, the book addresses the wider
cultural and social repercussions of the democratic system,
concluding with a survey of Athenian democracy in the Hellenistic
and Roman age. All sources are presented in translation with full
annotation and commentary and each chapter opens with an
introduction to provide background and direction for readers.
Sources include material by Aristotle, Homer, Aristophanes,
Herodotus, Thucydides, Cicero, Tacitus and many others. The volume
also includes an A-Z of key terms, an annotated bibliography with
suggestions for further reading in the primary sources as well as
modern critical works on Athenian democracy, and a full index.
