About the Book

Malcolm McGregor has written a comprehensive account of the Athenian "Golden Age", in which naval and political advances coincided with the Athenians' greatest achievements in art, literature, philosophy and social theory. In Athenian democracy, effective government was achieved by a balance between open public debate and the role of individual decisive statesmen, such as Pericles. This brought peace and prosperity, if only shortlived and, McGregor asserts, contributed to the extraordinary cultural ascendancy of fifth-century Athens. The book is intended for students and teachers of classics, ancient history and political science. Malcolm McGregor is Professor Emeritus in Classics at the University of British Columbia.

Review :
For a scholarly work the style is lively and the chapters brisk and concise. Yet the information is extensive and includes an excellent glossary on Greek terms/offices. - Balder Journal (ECCAARTH) Teachers in search of a good, elementary and introductory text on this topic will welcome McGregor's contribution, as will those who have heard about the Athenian Empire and wish to get some orientation about it ... A useful and welcome addition to our bookshelves, and the audience McGregor had in mind has been well served by his efforts. - Charles D. Hamilton (Plutarchos)
