The Athenians of the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. developed a political system in which power was to a significant extent exercised directly by the citizens at large. The participation of large numbers of citizens was not only encouraged - it was indeed of crucial importance. This book is concerned with the public aspects of the life of Athenian citizens in the period from c. 450 to 322 B.C.

The Athenian polis and the evolution of democracy
The privileges and the opportunities of the citizen
The responsibilities of the citizen
The sovereignty of the Demos, officials and the Council
Citizens and participation
The hazards of leadership
The rewards of leadership
The critics of Athenian democracy
