The oath was an institution of fundamental importance across a wide range of social interactions throughout the ancient Greek world, making a crucial contribution to social stability and harmony; yet there has been no comprehensive, dedicated scholarly study of the subject for over a century. This volume of a two-volume study explores how oaths functioned in the working of the Greek city-state (polis) and in relations between different states as well as between Greeks and non-Greeks.
"Das Buch bietet eine wertvolle Übersicht zu diesem Thema und erinnert an die Bedeutung von Eiden, sowohl innerhalb der griechischen Staaten wie auch zwischen ihnen."
