This book charts the development and character of the political
forms that grew out of the age of Greek immigration into the
Aegean, and establishes the forms which in the course of history
were decisive. It also examines the impact which the various forms
of state exerted on Greek civilization and in so doing strengthens
the bridge between political history and the history of
civilization. This volume encompasses many disciplines: political,
social history, and religious history, law, administration and
geography.
From Solon to Socrates is a magisterial narrative introduction to
what is generally regarded as the most important period of Greek
history. Stressing the unity of Greek history and the centrality of
Athens, Victor Ehrenberg covers a rich and diverse range of
political, economic, military and cultural issues in the Greek
world, from the early history of the Greeks, including early Sparta
and the wars with Persia, to the ascendancy of Athens and the
Peloponnesian War.
First published in 1951, The People of Aristophanes provides a

He writes extensively about social structure, family, religion and
political relationships within the state, and discusses the
far-reaching changes which took place within Athenian society.

First published in 1974, this book is a collection of nine essays
written by Victor Ehrenberg between 1925 and 1967, five of which
had not been published before. They deal with a number of aspects
of Greek and Roman history, and with the nature of ancient history
in the East and West. The first essay is a broad survey of
interactions between opposing forces and ideas in the world as seen
from the most ancient Near Eastern civilizations to the beginning
of the western Middle Ages and the era of Byzantium; this is
followed by discussions of topics from Classical and Hellenistic
Greece and Republican and Imperial Rome, with the accent on the
history of ideas and institutions -freedom, the Greek city-state,
and Roman concepts of state and empire. The final chapter consists
of personal reflections on the meaning of history from the writer's
own characteristic viewpoint, and is, as he admits, more in the way
of a confession than pure scholarship.
