The Ideology of Democratic Athens: Institutions, Orators and the Mythical Past

By Matteo Barbato

Book Overview

The debate on Athenian democratic ideology has long been polarised around two extremes. A Marxist tradition views ideology as a cover-up for Athens' internal divisions. Another tradition, sometimes referred to as culturalist, interprets it neutrally as the fixed set of ideas shared by the members of the Athenian community.
