Rezensionen

"Kapparis' new book builds on the author's numerous studies on Athenian society, oratory and legal history, and provides an investigation of Athenian law within the social context of classical democracy... The result is an accessible and clearly structured account dealing with several aspects of Athenian law against its social and cultural background, which will especially interest undergraduate students... Kapparis provides a helpful introduction to the legal background of classical Athenian society for students of Ancient History and Classics." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
