Political activity and political thinking began in the cities and
other states of ancient Greece, and terms such as tyranny,
aristocracy, oligarchy, democracy and politics itself are Greek
words for concepts first discussed in Greece. Rhodes presents in
translation a selection of texts illustrating the formal mechanisms
and informal workings of the Greek states in all their variety.
From the states described by Homer out of which the classical
Greeks believed their states had developed, through the archaic
period which saw the rise and fall of tyrants and the gradual
broadening of citizen bodies, to the classical period of the fifth
and fourth centuries, Rhodes also looks beyond that to the
Hellenistic and Roman periods in which the Greeks tried to preserve
their way of life in a world of great powers. For this second
edition the book has been thoroughly revised and three new chapters
added.
