Balot brings together political theory, classical history, and ancient philosophy in order to reinterpret courage as a specifically democratic virtue. Ranging from Thucydides and Aristophanes to the Greek tragedians and Plato, Balot shows that the ancient Athenians constructed a novel vision of courage that linked this virtue to fundamental democratic ideals such as freedom, equality, and practical rationality. The Athenian ideology of courage had practical implications for the conduct of war, for gender relations, and for the citizens' self-image 606 $aCourage 606 $aConduct of life 606 $aDemocracy$zGreece$xHistory 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xPolitics and government$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aCourage. 615 0$aConduct of life. 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory. 676 $a320.01/9 676 $a320.019 700 $aBalot$b Ryan K$g(Ryan Krieger),$f1969-$0918222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996208430003316 996 $aCourage in the democratic polis$92348724 997 $aUNISA
