description: 2500 years ago, democracy was born in classical Athens. This collection of essays by twenty-two leading scholars from the UK, Europe, and America, is a twin celebration--it marks this occasion and also the sixty-fifth birthday of David Lewis, Professor of Ancient History at the University ofOxford. The essays discuss the religious, financial, and political aspects of Athenian democracy, and all offer new interpretations of the subject, paying particular attention to epigraphy, Lewis's speciality.
