Josiah Ober is the David Magie Professor of Ancient History in the Classics Department of Princeton University. He is the author of Political Dissent in Democratic Athens: Intellectual Critics of Popular Rule, Mass and Elite in Democratic Athens: Rhetoric, Ideology, and the Power of the People and Demokratia: A Conversation on Democracies, Ancient and Modern (all from Princeton).
"The Athenian Revolution is a welcome collection.... Interesting
and witty introductions place the articles in personal and
scholarly context."---Peter Krentz, Religious Studies Review
"[Ober] has succeeded in writing a book that both political
theorists and ancient historians will find always provocative and
often persuasive. Highly recommended."
*Choice*
"By confronting critically an alien way of thinking and doing and
speaking about politics that is nevertheless also the fountainhead
of our own Western political tradition, Ober provides a wide range
of readers with a truly unsettling and therefore properly
educational experience."---Paul Cartledge, New England Classical
