Composed of essays specially commissioned for this volume and written by leading scholars of classics, political science, and philosophy, the Companion brings these texts to life by analysing what they have to tell us about the problems of political life. Focusing on texts by Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristotle, among others, they examine perennial issues, including rights and virtues, democracy and the rule of law, community formation and maintenance, and the ways in which theorizing of several genres can and cannot assist political practice. 410 0$aCambridge companions to the ancient world. 606 $aPolitical science$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 676 $a320.0938 702 $aSalkever$b Stephen G.$f1943- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996202468603316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to ancient Greek political thought$92575665 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
