Thrasybulus and the Athenian democracy

Viac o knihe

„Die wissenschaftliche Welt wie alle an der Geschichte Griechenlands im klassischen Zeitalter Interessierten überhaupt, haben B. für einen wertvollen und originellen Beitrag zur althistorischen Diskussion, vor allem aber für eine nützliche und konzise Monographie über eine trotz reicher Detailforschung nur selten in zusammenfassender Form dargestellte Epoche der athenischen Geschichte zu danken.“ Tyche „Although Thrasybulus of Steiria was a major player in some of the most important events of Athenian history, he has been largely neglected by ancient commentators and modern scholars alike. By way of giving Thrasybulus the attention his deeds warrant, Buck provides in his brief study a Thrasybulus-centered history of the period from 411–389. [.] The reader will find a concise, clearly-written, and well-argued discussion of the events of the period.“ Bryn Mawr Classical Review Content: Sources and Scholarship — Thrasybulus: His Early Life and Career — Arginusae and the Thirty — The Overthrow of the Thirty and the Restoration of Democracy — The First Two Years of the Corinthian War: Thrasybulus and Conon — The Corinthian War: Thrasybulus and the New Athenian Empire — Thrasybulus and Athens — Chronology
