Viewed by some as the embodiment of the longed-for 'philosopher-king', Demetrius has been seen a test case for the interplay of philosophical training and political praxis in antiquity. This book, through a close re-examination of the fragmentary and diffuse testimonia for Demetrius? decade, argues that such a view misunderstands his legislative, constitutional and financial reforms, which should rather be seen within the context of Macedonian suzerainty, Athenian self-interest, and contemporary social changes. Such a context also affords a better understanding of the dynamic relations between the Macedonian generals and the preeminent Greek city at the dawn of the Hellenistic era. 410 0$aMnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.$pSupplementum.$pHistory and archaeology of classical antiquity ;$v318. 606 $aGovernors$zGreece$zAthens$vBiography 606 $aStatesmen$zGreece$zAthens$vBiography 606 $aOrators$zGreece$zAthens$vBiography 606 $aPhilosophers, Ancient$vBiography 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xPolitics and government 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xRelations$zMacedonia 607 $aMacedonia$xRelations$zGreece$zAthens 615 0$aGovernors 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aOrators 615 0$aPhilosophers, Ancient 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 676 $a938/.508092 676 $aB 700 $aO'Sullivan$b Lara$0871262 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819687903321 996 $aThe regime of Demetrius of Phalerum in Athens, 317-307 BCE$91944946 997 $aUNINA
