Editorial Reviews

This slim volume is . . . well-worth including as required reading for almost any introductory undergraduate course to Greek civilization, [and] will likewise be attractive to the interested layperson as a brief and general introduction to some of the most important issues of Athenian political life.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review - Stephanie Larson

"... This little volume is everything an Agora Picture Book should be: concise but informative, easy to read (and to carry), and ... pretty." Stephanie Larson, BMCR 2005.08.12
