In this course we examine ancient Greek discourse about the city-state or polis. Readings (in translation) are drawn from Homer, Hesiod, Solon, Herodotus, Aeschylus, and Thucydides. For these works, we will consider the relation between force, rationality, virtue, personal honor, justice, and the political organization of the community.
