商品簡介
Fifteen papers presented by Mitchell (classics and ancient history, Exeter U., UK) and Rubinstein (ancient history, Royal Holloway, U. of London, UK) collectively demonstrate the inseparability of cultural history and political history when studying ancient Greece by combining study of literary and epigraphic evidence. Topics include the epigraphical evidence concerning egalitarian values couched in the language of friendship within the context of philosophical treatises and classical historiography, the significance of friendship in interpersonal and international relations, the values formulated and propagated in Athenian honorific decrees and how they defined relationships within the polis, legislative inscriptions of Thasos in the context of Thasian external relations, evidence concerning interstate relationships and trade as traced through honorary decrees, and the transition from Attic to Ionic script in Athens.
