DAVIES, J.K., Democracy and Classical Greece. Harvester Press / Humanities Press, Sussex / New Jersey, 1978. 284p. ills. Cloth. Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper.'What Davies has written is very far from being a conventional narrative history. He succeeds in giving a prominent place to the sources, with quotations on almost every page, and the reader is introduced not only to Thucydides, Diodorus, Plutarch, and Athens’ ‘imperial’ inscriptions but also to Hippocrates’ Airs, Waters and Places, Antiphon the Sophist On Truth, (Aristotle)’s Oeconomicus, and the trilingual inscription recently found at Xanthus. The emphasis of the book is on interpretation rather than narrative.' (P.J. RHODES in The Classical Review (New Series), 1980, p.297).

'To assess the influence and limitations of Athenian property-power, Davies has assembled a corpus of evidence, set forth in a massive Alphabetical Register of 779 names (...). What interests him is investment in political goodwill by the upper class, precisely and austerely defined by their performance of military and festival liturgies. The investment consisted in public service, conspicuous consumption (...), naming children programmatically, ostentatious generosity in the payment of levies and subscriptions, and in the discharge of liturgies.' (PAUL MACKENDRICK in Gnomon, 1973, p.508). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 245.00 (Antiquarian)
