Recent books about the Athenian courts have focused mainly on Athenian social values, but they have paid less attention to the political ideal of the rule of law and to the procedures the Athenians followed to implement this ideal. This study moves beyond the study of rhetoric and ideology to examine how the law worked in action, both in the community as a whole and in the courts. 606 $aLaw$zGreece$zAthens$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLaw, Greek 606 $aRule of law (Greek law) 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 615 0$aLaw, Greek. 615 0$aRule of law (Greek law) 676 $a347.38/505 700 $aHarris$b Edward Monroe$0294311 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996208437603316 996 $aRule of law in action in democratic Athens$93014128 997 $aUNISA
