Description

"After the death of Pericles, a new breed of politicians - men like Cleon, Cleophon, and Hyperbolus - came to power in Athens. Rejecting the traditional source of political support, the bonds of friendship, in favor of direct appeals to the people, they signaled the emergence of a new pattern of politics. The author traces the development of this new pattern-often misunderstood, often branded "demagogy" by both ancient and modern writers-by investigating the nature of political and social organization in Athens and the vocabulary of Greek politics." 218p. Text clean and crisp, minor signs of library ownership - bookplate, stamps etc.
