Abstract

Beginning already in the Homeric poems and Hesiod, Greek and later Roman poets and philosophers reflected constantly on ideas about justice, government and the rule of law. This tradition reached its zenith in the great works of 4th century Athens, Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics, but also includes the historical works of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Tacitus; the political oratory of Demosthenes and Cicero; the essays of Plutarch and Seneca; and the theory implicit in the workings of the Athenian democracy, the Spartan state, the Roman republic and empire.This Companion provides a broad overview of ancient political thought with both a normative and a historical focus. It helps students to understand the great works of ancient political philosophy on their own terms, while also identifying the contemporary conversations in which they are involved.

Abstract

What determined the choices of the Greeks on the battlefield ? Were their tactics defined by unwritten moral rules, or was all considered fair in war ? In 'Classical Greek Tactics : A Cultural History', Roel Konijnendijk re-examines the literary evidence for the battle tactics and tactical thought of the Greeks during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Rejecting the traditional image of limited, ritualised battle, Konijnendijk sketches a world of brutally destructive engagements, restricted only by the stubborn amateurism of the men who fought. The resulting model of hoplite battle does away with most received wisdom about the nature of Greek battle tactics, and redefines the way they reflected the values of Greek culture as a whole
