In Taming Ares Emiliano J. Buis examines the sources of classical
Greece to challenge both the state-centeredness of mainstream
international legal history and the omnipresence of war and
excessive violence in ancient times. Making ample use of epigraphic
as well as literary, rhetorical, and historiographical sources, the
book offers the first widespread account of the narrative
foundations of the (il)legality of warfare in the classical
Hellenic world. In a clear yet sophisticated manner, Buis
convincingly proves that the traditionally neglected study of the
performance of ancient Greek poleis can contribute to a better
historical understanding of those principles of international law
underlying the practices and applicable rules on the use of force
and the conduct of hostilities.
