Pericles was the most famous leader of the most famous ancient Greek democracy - and also the most controversial in his own time and ever since. Was he a brutal imperialist ready to oppress other Greeks, or a clear-eyed defender of Athens' need for power to survive in a relentlessly hostile world? How did his intellectual training in ideas that many Athenians regarded as dangerous make him the most persuasive leader Athenian democracy ever knew? Why was his personal lifestyle so idiosyncratic? How should we evaluate his responsibility for the suffering and loss of the Peloponnesian War? Thomas R. Martin's unique emphasis on the effect on Pericles of his family's notorious history, his youthful experiences as a wartime refugee, and his unusual education reveals a brilliant politician whose hyper-rationality could not, in the end, protect him or his community from tragedy.

Edith Foster compares Thucydides' narrative explanations and descriptions of the Peloponnesian War in Books One and Two of the History with the arguments about warfare and war materials offered by the Athenian statesman Pericles in those same books. In Thucydides' narrative presentations, she argues, the aggressive deployment of armed force is frequently unproductive or counterproductive, and even the threat to use armed force against others causes consequences that can be impossible for the aggressor to predict or contain. By contrast, Pericles' speeches demonstrate that he shared with many other figures in the History a mistaken confidence in the power, glory, and reliability of warfare and the instruments of force. Foster argues that Pericles does not speak for Thucydides, and that Thucydides should not be associated with Pericles' intransigent imperialism.

As the most famous and important political leader in Athenian history, Pericles has featured prominently in descriptions and analysis of Athenian democracy from antiquity to the present day. Although contemporary historians have tended to treat him as representative of values like liberty and equality, Loren J. Samons, II demonstrates that the quest to make Athens the preeminent power in Greece served as the central theme of Pericles' career. More nationalist than humanist and less rationalist than populist, Pericles' vision for Athens rested on the establishment of an Athenian reputation for military success and the citizens' willingness to sacrifice in the service of this goal. Despite his own aristocratic (if checkered) ancestry, Pericles offered the common and collective Athenian people the kind of fame previously available only to heroes and nobleman, a goal made all the more attractive because of the Athenians' defensiveness about Athens' lackluster early history.

Thucydides, Pericles, and the Idea of Athens in the Peloponnesian War is the first comprehensive study of Thucydides' presentation of Pericles' radical redefinition of the city of Athens during the Peloponnesian War. Martha Taylor argues that Thucydides subtly critiques Pericles' vision of Athens as a city divorced from the territory of Attica and focused, instead, on the sea and the empire. Thucydides shows that Pericles' reconceputalization of the city led the Athenians both to Melos and to Sicily. Toward the end of his work, Thucydides demonstrates that flexible thinking about the city exacerbated the Athenians' civil war. Providing a thorough critique and analysis of Thucydides' neglected book 8, Taylor shows that Thucydides praises political compromise centered around the traditional city in Attica. In doing so, he implicitly censures both Pericles and the Athenian imperial project itself.

Aspasia of Miletus, next to Sappho and Cleopatra, is one of the best known women of the classical world. This study traces the construction of Aspasia's biographical tradition and shows how it has prevented her from taking her rightful place as a contributor to the ancient world.

Die Hamburger Colloquia Attica I-III fanden zu den Themen Fluchtafeln, Recht und Archaik statt. Eine Auswahl der dort gehaltenen Vorträge präsentiert dieser Band. Ein erster Teil widmet sich dem krisenhaften Übergang von der Archaik zur frühen Klassik, der sich in einer Welle der Gesetzeskodifikationen manifestierte (in Athen im drakontischen Totschlagsrecht und der Gesetzgebung Solons) aber auch in Veränderungen in der Körperkultur und im Konsumverhalten. Darüber hinaus wird das Recht der klassischen Polis am Beispiel der bisher vernachlässigten Amnestie von 405/4 v. Chr. dargestellt, ergänzt durch einen Forschungsüberblick zum Vertragsrecht. Ein Plädoyer für eine genauere Definition der Begriffe "heiliges Recht" und "heilige Gesetze" leitet über zum zweiten Teil, in dem Projekte zur Magie in einen fruchtbaren Dialog miteinander gebracht werden: von der Neuedition der attischen Fluchtafeln durch das Berliner Inscriptiones Graecae-Projekt über die Magdeburger Datenbank zur Erfassung aller antiken Fluchtafeln bis hin zu einer englischen Leseedition aller athenischen Täfelchen. Der Band vermittelt damit einen konzisen Überblick über jüngste Debatten und aktuelle Projekte zum antiken Athen.
