Bøker av Michael Gagarin

Controlled entirely by the city-state's ordinary citizens, the Athenian legal system is one of the most unorthodox the world has ever known, and Michael Gagarin offers an in-depth explanation of how that worked.

This book convincingly argues that Antiphon the orator and Antiphon the Sophist were the same person.

Drawing on the evidence of anthropology as well as ancient literature and inscriptions, Gagarin examines the emergence of law in Greece from the 8th through the 6th centuries B.C., that is, from the oral culture of Homer and Hesiod to the written enactment of codes of law in most major cities.
