The Birth of Democracy

edited by Josiah Ober and Charles W. Hedrick

An exhibition celebrating the 2500th anniversary of the beginnings of democracy in Athens is now on at the National archives, Washington DC until January 1994. This informative catalogue includes colour illustrations of the objects displayed: sculptures, architectural models and small objects from Athens and from museums in America and Europe. The objects are set in context with nine short essays: Writing and the Athenian democracy (C W Hedrick); Representations of Athenian democracy in Attic document reliefs (C Lawton); The birth of democracy (P G Calligas); Pottery, private life and politics (P Shapiro); Personifications of democracy (O Tzachou-Delmouzou); A court trial in Athens early in the 4th century BC (A L Boegehold); Oaths and oathtaking in ancient Athens (D Peppa-Delmouzou); The political rhetoric of America's founders (J Roberts); 19th century photography in Athens (A Szegedy-Maszak). 179p with b/w and col photos. (Am. Sch. of Classical Studies in Athens, 1993)
