Decree-making is a defining aspect of ancient Greek political
activity: it was the means by which city-state communities went
about deciding to get things done. This two-volume work provides a
new view of the decree as an institution within the framework of
fourth-century Athenian democratic political activity. Volume 1
consists of a comprehensive account of the literary evidence for
decrees of the fourth-century Athenian assembly. Volume 2 analyses
how decrees and decree-making, by offering both an authoritative
source for the narrative of the history of the Athenian demos and a
legitimate route for political self-promotion, came to play an
important role in shaping Athenian democratic politics. Peter
Liddel assesses ideas about, and the reality of, the dissemination
of knowledge of decrees among both Athenians and non-Athenians and
explains how they became significant to the wider image and legacy
of the Athenians.
