Dr Hesk traces the ways in which Athenian drama, democratic oratory and elite prose-writing construct and theorize a relationship between dishonesty and civic identity. He focuses on the ideology of military trickery, notions of the 'noble lie' and the developing associations of rhetorical language with deceptive communication. Deception and Democracy in Classical Athens combines close analysis of Athenian texts with lively critiques of modern theorists and classical scholars. Athenian democratic culture was crucially informed by a nuanced, anxious and dynamic discourse on the problems and opportunities which deception presented for its citizenry. Mobilizing comparisons with twentieth-century democracies, the author argues that Athenian literature made deception a fundamental concern for democratic citizenship. This ancient discourse on lying highlights the dangers of modern resignation and postmodern complacency concerning the politics and morality of deception. 517 3 $aDeception & Democracy in Classical Athens 606 $aDemocracy$zGreece$zAthens 606 $aDeception$zGreece$zAthens 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDeception 676 $a306.2/0938/5 700 $aHesk$b Jon$0622576 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450409203321 996 $aDeception and Democracy in Classical Athens$91675972 997 $aUNINA
