D avid M. P ritchard . Athenian Democracy at War
David M. Pritchard’s Athenian Democracy at War consolidates some previously published work with new research on democratic Athens’ military culture, innovations, and practices in the fifth and fourth centuries b.c.e. A leading scholar on Athenian politics, sport, military affairs, and public finance, Pritchard is well situated to produce the present volume, which presents a set of valuable, relatively independent but related studies that attempt …
Herodotus on the Kimonids
Analysis of Herodotus’ accounts of events involving Kimon’s ancestors (the family known to historians as Philaids or Kimonids) demonstrates that the family had collaborated with the Peisistratid tyrants and the Persians, forming a significant part of the elite faction upon which Peisistratid power partially rested as well as serving as tyrants themselves in the Chersonese. This analysis also shows that contemporary supporters of the Kimonids prov…
Pericles and the Conquest of History
As the most famous and important political leader in Athenian history, Pericles has featured prominently in descriptions and analysis of Athenian democracy from antiquity to the present day. Although contemporary historians have tended to treat him as representative of values like liberty and equality, Loren J. Samons, II demonstrates that the quest to make Athens the preeminent power in Greece served as the central theme of Pericles' career. Mor…
Conclusion
Pericles casts a long shadow. Undoubtedly the most important figure in the history of Athenian democracy, he nonetheless suffers from a kind of mythologization. Like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, Pericles has become larger (and smaller) than life. To moderns, he often seems a kind of disembodied spokesman for democratic values, transmitted to us through less than careful readings, summaries, or decontextualized quotations from Thucydides'…
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles
Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open…

What's Wrong with Democracy?
Fifth-century Athens is praised as the cradle of democracy and sometimes treated as a potential model for modern political theory or practice. In this daring reassessment of classical Athenian democracy and its significance for the United States today, Loren J. Samons provides ample justification for our founding fathers' distrust of democracy, a form of government they scorned precisely because of their familiarity with classical Athens. How Ame…
The ‘Kallias decrees’( IG i 3 52) and the inventories of Athena's treasure in the Parthenon
Athenian officials in the fifth century maintained careful records of treasure owned by their gods, and of the expenditures and receipts of sacred moneys and dedications. These records are conventionally divided into two main types: (i) ‘inventories’ or annual lists of the treasure located in a particular repository, and (ii) ‘accounts’ or documents recording the receipts and expenditures (or loans) of sacred treasuries over a given period. A few…
Literacy and Paideia in Ancient Greece
This book examines the progress of literacy in ancient Greece from its origins in the eighth century to the fourth century, when the major cultural institutions of Athens became totally dependent on alphabetic literacy. By introducing new evidence and re-evaluating the older evidence, Robb demonstrates that early Greek literacy can be understood only in terms of the rich oral culture that immediately preceded it, one that was dominated by the ora…
