The Tyrannicide Citizen in Fifth-Century BCE Athens
Longtemps après que les tyrans avaient cessé de présenter pour Athènes un danger réel et actuel, la tyrannie et le tyrannicide continuaient d’occuper l’imagination et le discours public de la démocratie athénienne. La réaction (réelle ou revue et corrigée) des Athéniens à la tyrannie leur offrait un modèle puissant (bien qu’imaginaire) leur permettant d’identifier et de contrôler les élites et dirigeants aux ambitions inquiétantes. Cette soupless…
Fighting Tyranny in Fifth-Century Athens
By way of explaining why he turned to the Athenian tyrannicides while narrating the Affair of the Mysteries in 415, Thucydides asserts at 6.60.1 that the Athenian demos, ‘remembering all that they knew from report’ about their civic heroes, became ‘unmanageable and suspicious of those blamed for the affair’. Should historians believe him? Perhaps not. This paper discusses the oath of Demophantus, which the Athenians collectively recited after res…
Speak on my Behalf
Wasps is Aristophanes' most explicit treatment of Athenian legal practices and forensic rhetoric—its psychological nature as well as its political implications. In Wasps, legal metaphors become literal, as Aristophanes transforms his stage into a court, interweaving the Athenian citizen's identity as a juror into the play's dramatic core. This paper attempts to show that Wasps participates in a democratic discourse on citizen identity by subjecti…
Citizens on Stage
In Citizens on Stage, James F. McGlew studies the political constructions of Athenian public and private life in the late fifth and early fourth centuries B.C.E., a period in which democracy underwent several important changes. It saw the emergence of new ideas of political participation--some supportive of democracy, others hostile--that were particularly significant in reshaping images of citizenship.Old Comedy gives Citizens on Stage its chron…

In much of the work of scholars since Helmut Flashar's 1967 article, 1 and including A. E. Bowie's recent study (1993) on Aristophanes, that contest and th…

Tyranny and Political Culture in Ancient Greece
"Revolution and Freedom in Theodor Mommsen's "Romische Geschichte
IN THE HALF-CENTURY BEGINNING AROUND 1830, German readers of narrative history were presented with a great number of histories of revolutions and of revolutionary ages. The authors of these histories were almost all liberals, among them many of the most illustrious names of two generations of German scholarship, including Carl von Rotteck, Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann, Johann Gustav Droysen, Georg Gervinus, and Heinrich von Sybel.1 This interest …
