Review "I have successfully used the Cambridge Companion to Ancient Greek Law with my students in a senior undergraduate course on Greek law. Its range of intellectual approaches and accessibility have worked very well." --Phoenix: Journal of the Classical Association of Canada"A conspicuous place in legal historian's toolkit will be reserved for The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Greek Law." Ordia Prima, Ilias N. Arnaoutoglou, Academy of Athens Book Description This Companion volume provides a comprehensive overview of the major themes and topics pertinent to ancient Greek law. Many of the 22 essays, written by an international team of experts, deal with procedural and substantive law in classical Athens, but significant attention is also paid to legal practice in the archaic and Hellenistic eras, areas that offer substantial evidence for legal practice, such as Crete and Egypt; the intersection of law with religion, philosophy, political theory, rhetoric, and drama; as will as the unity of Greek law and the role of writing in law.
