Description
The art of classical Greece, and its political and philosophical ideas, have had a profound influence on Western civilization. It was in the fifth and fourth centuries BC that this culture - material, political and intellectual - reached its zenith, and it is this period that is examined in this book. This text is part of the Fontana History of the Ancient World series that also includes Early Greece by Oswyn Murray.

I think this is a useful book in that it addresses specifically the notion of democracy in Greece. I have others which would be helpful for the period. And more specific works are well-known but the concept of democracy as the focus is worthwhile here.
