The contributors to this volume include some of the greatest authorities on ancient Greece writing in English today. Their articles address issues that are both relevant to Greek history and to the development of democratic institutions in our time. This book, therefore, may serve as a text not only for students of ancient history and classical languages, but also those interested in the history of democratic institutions more generally, political science and political philosophy.

Robin Lane Fox, "Cleisthenes and His Reforms;" Anthony Kenny, "Aristotle’s Ideals of Life;" David Hunt, "Democracy After 2,500 Years;" Leslie Lipson, "Democracy: The First Twenty-Five Centuries;” Eli Sagan, “Citizenship as a Form of Psycho-Social Identity;" Vassos Karageorghis, "The Role of Cyprus in the Ancient Mediterranean and the Origins of Her Hellenization."
