| Content |
This curse proposes, essentially thorough the examination of the literary and epigraphical evidences, a diachronic survey of the Ancient Greek ways of governing. The Athenian institutions in the age of Demosthenes constitute the first chapter. From this start-point, we will progressively go back in the History of that city in order to study the re-elaboration of the Athenian 'constitution' at the end of the Peloponnesian War (chap. 2), the role played by legislators in the formation of that polis (chap. 3), and the problems engendered by the synoecism of Attica (chap. 4). The Athenian case will after be compared to other Greek cities (chap. 5), those of the Peloponnese notably, but also to other forms of political integrations (leagues, amphictionies, ').
