Classical Athens and the Delphic Oracle: Divination and Democracy
"With Bowden's reminder of the centrality of religion in Athens, the 2,500-year-old city-state turns out to play a more important part in the political education of modern democracy than anyone - even the oracle at Delphi - might have predicted."    Dallas Morning News, Joy Connolly“All scholars of Athenian democracy should read this brief, well written book.  The publisher deserves praise for its numerous photographs and diagrams, footnotes, scholarly appendix, and extensive bibliography, as well as for publishing the book in an affordable paperback edition.  Highly recommended.”Choice
