This is a highly original, interdisciplinary study of the archaic
Greek word nomos and its family of words. More recently used to
mean simply 'law' or 'law-making', Thanos Zartaloudis draws out the
richness of this fundamental term by exploring its many roots and
uses over the centuries. The Birth of Nomos includes extracts from
ancient sources, in both the original and English translation,
including material from legal history, philosophy, philology,
linguistics, ancient history, poetry, archaeology, ancient
musicology and anthropology. Through a thorough analysis of these
extracts, we gain a new and complete understanding of nomos and its
foundational place in the Western legal tradition.
