Demos is a study of a classical city-state, providing an integrated account which gives due attention to the countryside as well as urban areas of a polis. Concentrating on classical Athens, it establishes the nature of settlement in the countryside and how it relates to farming, mineral mining and political participation in local and central politics.
Demos is a study of a classical city-state. It is the first attempt to provide an integrated account which gives due attention to the countryside as well as the urban areas of a polis. Concentrating on classical Athens, for which the literary and archaeological evidence is richest, Dr Osborne establishes the nature of settlement in the countryside and explores how this relates to the farming of the land, the exploitation of mineral resources, and the nature of political participation in both local and central politics. Further studies reveal the way in which the countryside was structured by religious institutions and cults and by the nature of the family.
