- Summary:
- How successful were the Athenians and other Greeks in bringing about the rule of law? What did the Greeks recognize as 'law' both in the polis and internationally? How did the courts attempt to implement this ideal, and how successful were they? This collection of essays sets out to answer these questions, concentrating on the following themes: law, religion and the sources of legitimacy; substance and procedure; legal arguments in court; documents and witnesses; and law in an international context. There is much here to interest not only specialists in Greek law, but also those concerned more generally with both Greek history and the history of law. Contributors include: Christopher Carey, Angelos Chaniotis, Michael Gagarin, Edward Harris, Adriaan Lanni, Frederick Naiden, Robert Parker, Peter Rhodes, Lene Rubinstein, James Sickinger.
