This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the history and significance of the Athenian Empire. It starts by exploring possible answers to the crucial questions of the origins and growth of the empire. Subsequent sections deal with the institutions and regulations of empire, and the mechanisms by which it was controlled; the costs and benefits of imperialism (for both rulers and ruled); and the ideological, cultural and artistic aspects of Athenian power. The articles collected here engage with the full range of evidence available - literary, epigraphic, archaeological and art-historical - and offer a compelling demonstration of the range of approaches, and conclusions, for which that evidence allows. Key Features Articles in Greek and other foreign languages are translated into English*Provides access to a range of scholarly views on contested topics*Includes editorial introductions, timelines and a bibliography which provide orientation for students and scope for further study.Edinburgh readings on the ancient world.GreeceHistoryAthenian supremacy, 479-431 B.C938.04Low Polly598405MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784813503321The Athenian Empire3775456UNINA
