Athens Transformed, 404-262 BC - Phillip (University of British Columbia Harding - Bog

During the heady, democratic days of the fifth and fourth centuries, the poorer members of Athenian society enjoyed an unprecedented dominance in both domestic and foreign politics. In this book, author Phillip Harding traces the major changes that occurred in the administration of the state that eventually deprived the lower classes of their supremacy and transferred power into the hands of the wealthy land-owners.
