This book is a celebration of two thousand five hundred years of
democracy. At the same time it is a collection of essays to honour
the sixty-fifth birthday of David Lewis, Professor of Ancient
History at the University of Oxford. The book brings together
contributions from twenty two leading scholars from Britain,
Continental Europe, Israel, and America; its central themes are
ritual (both in the religious and extended anthropological sense);
finance, including the accountability principle which was basic to
Athenian democracy; and politics. All represent significant new
contributions in the field. The contributors pay especial attention
to epigraphy (the editing and interpretation of inscriptions on
stone), which is David Lewis' speciality. They have made full use
of the newest epigraphic evidence, and discuss topics such as the
purposes (including symbolic and monumental motives) for which
democratic inscriptions were set up. The introduction locates
individual contributions within the overall study of classical
Athens and relates them to Lewis' own published work.
