Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of an ancient Greek inscription discovered by French scholars on the island of Aegina during the first half of the 19th century. The inscription is a decree honoring a man named Cleon, and details his accomplishments as a statesman and judge during one of the island's most tumultuous historical periods. The author examines the inscription's historical context, the political situation of Aegina under Pergamene rule, and the broader cultural significance of the honors bestowed upon Cleon. By situating the inscription within its broader context, the author provides a valuable glimpse into the power dynamics and social customs of the ancient Greek world.
