These collected papers construct a distinctive view of classical
Athens and of Athenian democracy, a view which takes seriously the
evidence of settlement archaeology and of art history. This
evidence both casts new light on traditional questions and enables
new questions to be asked, questions concerning the experience of
being an Athenian citizen, how the institutions of democracy
affected the Athenian economy, and how the rituals of religion
related to the rituals of democratic politics. Unlike books on
Athenian democracy which focus on the Assembly and Council, this
book gives full weight to women as well as men, slave as well as
free, and the rural worker as well as the leisured man about town.
Robin Osborne's work has been in the forefront of the resurgence of
interest in Athenian law and Athenian religion; these essays are
each placed in their scholarly context, and point the direction for
future research.
