This volume is both a companion to the editors' Greek Historical
Inscriptions, 404-323 BC, and a successor to the later part of the
Selection of Greek Historical Inscriptions to the End of the Fifth
Century BC, edited by Russell Meiggs and David M. Lewis and
published in 1969. As with the editors' earlier collection, it
seeks to make a selection of historically significant inscribed
texts accessible to scholars and students of fifth-century Greek
history. Since the publication of Meiggs and Lewis' collection, a
number of significant new inscriptions and fragments have been
unearthed and new interpretations of previously known examples
developed. As well as updating the scholarly corpus, this volume
aims to broaden the thematic range of inscriptions discussed and to
include a greater selection of material from outside Athens, while
still adhering to the intention of presenting texts which are
important not just as typical of their genre but in their own
right. In doing so, it offers an entry point to all aspects of
fifth-century history, from political and institutional, to social,
economic, and religious, and in order to make the material as
accessible as possible for a broad readership concerned with the
study of these areas, the Greek texts are presented here alongside
both English translations and incisive commentaries, which will be
of utility both to the specialist academic and to those less
familiar with the areas in question. The inclusion of photographs
depicting inscribed stones and bronzes complements discussion of
the inscriptions themselves and enables parallel consideration of
their nature, appearance, and transmission history, resulting in a
work of thoroughly comprehensive, cutting-edge scholarship and an
invaluable reference text for the study of fifth-century Greek
history.
