Description
The specially-commissioned essays in this 1999 book discuss the ways in which performance is central to the practice and ideology of democracy in classical Athens.
From theatre to law-court to gymnasium to symposium, performance is a basic part of Athenian society; how do these different areas interrelate and inform the politics and culture of the democratic city?
Drama, rhetoric, philosophy, literature and art are all discussed by leading scholars in this interdisciplinary volume.
