Excerpt from Bulletin the University of Texas: Athenian Clubs in Politics and Litigation, January 8, 1913 The subject of this study was first suggested by Associate Professor Robert J. Bonner, of the University of Chicago, when I was attending his research course in Greek history. At every stage of the investigation, Professor Bonner's suggestion, criticism, and assistance have been generously given and gratefully received, and my indebtedness to his sound scholarship and inspiring teaching cannot be overstated. I wish also to express my gratitude to Professor Paul Shorey, of the University of Chicago, and Dr. Hazel Louise Brown, of Chicago, for their active interest and helpful suggestions; to Professor W. J. Battle, Dr. F. B. Marsh, and Adjunct Professor D. A. Penick, of the University of Texas, for assistance with the proofs, and to Mr. S. G. Sanders, fellow in Greek in the University of Texas, for help in compiling the register of passages and in proof-reading. And lastly, acknowledgment may here be made of the constant encouragement and inspiration which I have received in the course of my work from my parents and from my good friend Dr. J. H. Mills, of Tulane University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into Athenian political or legal clubs and the influence they wielded in ancient Greece, primarily through electioneering and litigation support for their members. The author contends that these organizations' effectiveness largely stemmed from their efficiency in exploiting the opportunities provided by Athens' political landscape and legal machinery. The author examines the origins and development of these clubs and argues that they were likely not initially formed for explicitly political purposes, but rather adapted to political functions under the aristocracy, as exemplified by Cylon's club. The multifaceted nature of club activities is explored, including their political strategies, methods employed in litigation, and their role in shaping the political landscape. The author concludes by highlighting the significance of this study in shedding light on the complex relationship between political clubs and Athenian democracy. By exploring the inner workings of these organizations, this book expands our understanding of ancient Greek political culture and its subtleties.
