Law, Rhetoric and Comedy in Classical Athens

Cairns, Douglas

In 2001 a conference on Athenian Law and Life was held at Glasgow University to mark the retirment of Professor Douglas M MacDowell. These seventeen papers, from that conference, reflect MacDowell's interests in the development of Athenian law, Attic oratory and Greek comedy. Placing Athenian law and rhetoric in their social and historical context throughout, contributors examine: oral law in archaic Greece, Athenian contracts and law of procedure in Attic inscriptions; political rhetoric, Antiphon and the Mysteries; Aristophanes and the Athenian assembly, ritual patterns in Aristophanes and new papyri of Menander. 296p (Classical Press of Wales 2004)
