Citizenship in Classical Athens

Beschreibung

A highly original study arguing that Athenian citizenship was not just a political identity, but was in fact primarily a religious identity. Classical Athens saw itself as a community (polis) founded on its bond with the gods. Male and female citizens were equal heirs of this bond, in which the polis also anchored its laws.
