Law and Society in Classical Athens, first published in 1987,
traces the development of legal thought and its relation to
Athenian values. Previously Athens' courts have been regarded as
chaotic, isolated from the rest of society and even bizarre. The
importance of rhetoric and the mischief made by Aristophanes have
devalued the legal process in the eyes of modern scholars, whilst
the analysis of legal codes and practice has seemed dauntingly
complex. Professor Garner aims to situate the Athenian legal system
within the general context of abstract thought on justice and of
the democratic politics of the fifth century. His work is a
valuable source of information on all aspects of Athenian law and
its relation to culture.
