Description
Originallly published in French in 1997 as La Cite divisee , this study focuses on a crucial moment in Athenian political history, the end of oligarchic rule in 403BC and the decision to forget the stasis of the past. Reconciliation politics comes to the forefront as Loraux examines how civil war could be forgotten, how dissension could be kept at bay from the city and its politics when it had been such a fundamental part of its past. Looking anew at Athenian democracy, she reveals the 'conflictual and dynamic motion of democratic life' in a city that 'is doomed to divide itself in two'. Translated by Corinne Pache with Jeff Fort.
