Ancient Athenians, due to the significant amounts of time spent hearing cases and their own responsibility to conduct their cases as litigants, were far more versed in the law than most people, so it is probably no surprise that a wide variety of aspects of Athenian law can be found in Attic drama, with Aristophanes' Wasps being perhaps the best example. In this volume, Harris (Greek history, Durham U., UK), Leão (classics, U. of Coimbra, Portugal), and Rhodes (ancient history, U. of Durham, UK) present ten essays that illustrate different approaches to the subject of law and Athenian drama, with some discussing how understanding of Athenian law can enhance the appreciation of dramatic passages and techniques of Attic drama and others examining the philosophies of law presented in the plays. In general, they focus on the contribution of law to the understanding of literature. Distributed in the US by International Publishers Marketing.
