Описание:

The Birth of the Athenian Community elucidates the social and political development of Athens in the sixth century, when, as a result of reforms by Solon and Cleisthenes (at the beginning and end of the sixth century, respectively), Athens turned into the most advanced and famous city, or polis, of the entire ancient Greek civilization. Undermining the current dominant approach, which seeks to explain ancient Athens in modern terms, dividing all Athenians into citizens and non-citizens, this book rationalizes the development of Athens, and other Greek poleis, as a gradually rising complexity, rather than a linear progression. The multidimensional social fabric of Athens was comprised of three major groups: the kinship community of the astoi, whose privileged status was due to their origins; the legal community of the politai, who enjoyed legal and social equality in the polis; and the political community of the demotai, or adult males with political rights. These communities only partially overlapped. Their evolving relationship determined the course of Athenian history, including Cleisthenes' establishment of demokratia, which was originally, and for a long time, a kinship democracy, since it only belonged to qualified male astoi.

Описание: The Athenian Women presents a powerful vision of class struggle, the subjugation of women under a patriarchal system, and the courage needed to change the course of history.

Athens, 411 BC. In the countryside, Trasillo and Polemone, two veterans of the infamous battle of Mantinea, now live in adjacent cottages as humble farmers. They are determined to improve their lot by finding influential husbands for their daughters, Glicera and Charis. However, sensing that a violent political scheme is secretly afoot, the two friends agree that first they must defend Athens from oligarchs who are plotting to reinstate tyrannical rule.

Charis and Glicera are convinced their fathers are being paranoid and, impatient, set about finding suitors themselves. Cimone, the rich and arrogant son of their neighbor Eubulo, soon becomes the object of their desire. When the men travel to Athens to see Aristophanes' latest comedy, the girls, far from their fathers' watchful eyes, break social order and accept an invitation to Cimone's house.

While this romantic drama plays out in the countryside, from the stage, the Athenian Lysistrata and the Spartan Lampito raise their voices in protest against misogyny and war, calling into question the status quo that Athenians have accepted for centuries.

Alessandro Barbero captures an Athens that feels extraordinarily contemporary, where citizens concerned about their freedoms choose to act and create change.
