This course, organized with the MIT Greece working group, explores the emergence, evolution, and operation of the Athenian democratic political institutions to the end of the 5th century B.C. with special emphasis on the ancient sources, literary and epigraphical. It starts with an introduction on the relevance of the study of 5th c. B.C Athenian democracy, and then focuses on Athenian political and constitutional developments that led to the so-called Golden Age of Periclean Athens up to the end of the 5th c. B.C. when Athenian democracy went through difficult times.
The course contains the study of the translation of ancient texts that constitute primary sources.
