In each case, the charges involved a combination of supernatural activities, including potion-brewing and cult activity; the defendants were all women. Because of the brevity of the ancient sources, and their lack of agreement, the precise charges are unclear; the reasons for taking these women to court, even condemning some of them to die, remain mysterious. This book takes the complexity and confusion of the evidence not as a riddle to be solved, but as revealing multiple social dynamics. It explores the changing factors-material, ideological, and psychological-that may have provoked these events. It focuses in particular on the dual role of envy (phthonos) and gossip as processes by which communities identified people and activities that were dangerous, and examines how and why those local, even individual, dynamics may have come to shape official civic decisions during a time of perceived hardship. At first sight so puzzling, these trials come to provide a vivid glimpse of the sociopolitical environment of Athens during the early to mid-fourth century BCE, including responses to changes in women's status and behaviour, and attitudes to particular supernatural/religious activities within the city. This study reveals some of the characters, events, and local social processes that shaped an emergent concept of magic: it suggests that the legal boundary of acceptable behaviour was shifting, not only within the legal arena, but also with the active involvement of society beyond the courts. 517 $aEnvy, Poison, & Death 606 $aLaw & society$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural history$2bicssc 610 $aAthens 610 $acourts 610 $aemotions 610 $aenvy 610 $afourth century 610 $agossip 610 $aHBLA1 610 $aHBTB 610 $aHRKP3 610 $aJFSJ1 610 $aJHMC 610 $aLAQ 610 $alaw 610 $amagic 610 $aphthonos 610 $areligion 610 $atrial 610 $aVXW 610 $awomen 615 7$aLaw & society 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 615 7$aSocial & cultural history 700 $aEidinow$b Esther$f1970-,$4auth$00 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557177903321 996 $aEnvy, poison, and death$92996017 997 $aUNINA
