About this title

Synopsis

This volume explores the ways in which law integrated with other aspects of life in ancient Greece. The papers collected here reveal a number of different pathways between legal and political, social, and economic life in Greek societies. Grounded in several scholarly traditions, together these essays argue that law only takes on its full meaning in a broadly political context, not only in ancient Greece, but in every modern society.
