The Roman Republic and Political Culture
This volume makes available in English translation for the first time a series of hugely influential articles about Roman Republican politics which were all originally published in German. They represent a school of thought that has long been in dialogue with Anglophone research but has not always been accessible to all English-speakers, leaving many listening to only one side of a conversation. The contributions were part of a movement towards v…

Herodotusʼ Allusions to the Sparta of his Day
When Herodotus wrote his Histories during the Archidamian War, the Spartans were widely successful with their propaganda of ‘Freedom for all Hellenes’ against the Athenian imperialism. The aim of this paper is to show that in his stories Herodotus blamed not only the Athenians for their hybris towards the Greeks, but even-handedly the Spartans for their anxiety, hesitancy, parochialism, and, as a consequence of all that, double-dealing in foreign…
Grenzen politischer Partizipation im klassischen Griechenland
Das Ausmaß der Teilhabe an der Herstellung kollektiv verbindlicher Entscheidungen ist ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Analyse politischer Systeme.

Gleichwohl waren die Möglichkeiten, an politischen Entscheidungen mitzuwirken, nicht unbeschränkt. Es gab auch hie…
Thucydides on Themistocles
For more than a century Thucydides' eulogy on Themistocles has been interpreted as a classic revision of Herodotus, who allegedly defamed the victor of Salamis. This chapter shows that Thucydides, since he was covering other periods of Themistocles' life than Herodotus, simply did not have the opportunity decisively to refute his predecessor's portrait. For an understanding of Thucydides' treatment of Themistocles, it is necessary to discover his…
The Herodotean Picture of Themistocles
IT has long been accepted that Herodotus’ views on Athens, in particular the Athens of his contemporaries, are a key for under standing his Histories. Although the position which Jacoby made canonical, namely that Herodotus venerates Athens, has for many years remained unchallenged, Strasburger more than forty years ago showed that in numerous passages Herodotus presents the Athenians in a bad light. Quite recently Stadter in fact demon strated t…
