Essential reading for all students ofdemocracy, ancient and modern." - Josiah Ober,Stanford University "Kurt Raaflaub's distinguished 'The Ancient World:Comparative Histories' series acquires herewith another eminentlyworthy member, which bears his personal stamp both as inspirationalco-editor and as contributor with a special interest and expertisein ancient Greek politics and political thought. From the sensitiveintroduction (by another of the co-editors) to the concluding essayon ideas of liberty ancient and modern the multinational cast ofleading experts takes the longest possible view of what mattersmost about the ancient Greeks' invention of democracy from itsoriginal location within their peculiar polis state-form toits current, very different receptions around the world today.Students of Sophocles and Aristophanes, and of Schopenhauer, Wagnerand Nietzsche, among many others, will find their tastes andinterests equally well served." - Paul Cartledge,University of CambridgeMore details
