The Greek city-state or polis is the earliest advanced form of social organization in the western world, and is the starting-point for western political thought. Fourteen new essays by leading scholars from Britain, Denmark, France, Italy, and North America present leading aspects of this phenomenon. The Greek city is placed in the general context of Mediterranean history and its impact on the urbanization of Italy is assessed. Other chapters consider the geography of the polis and the relationship between city and countryside, its political and religious institutions, and the distinction between public and private spheres. The first essay seeks to define the uniqueness of the phenomenon of the polis, and the last assesses the reasons for its decline.

The book is written for the general reader and the student of social sciences as much as for professional historians of the ancient world.
