The Cambridge Companion to Greek Political Thought offers a guide
to understanding the central texts and problems in ancient Greek
political thought, from Homer through the Stoics and Epicureans.
Composed of essays specially commissioned for this volume and
written by leading scholars of classics, political science, and
philosophy, the Companion brings these texts to life by analyzing
what they have to tell us about the problems of political life.
Focusing on texts by Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and
Aristotle, among others, they examine perennial issues, including
rights and virtues, democracy and the rule of law, community
formation and maintenance, and the ways in which theorizing of
several genres can and cannot assist political practice.
