Antik Atina'da demokrasinin gelişim sürecini bize aktarmasıyla çok faydalı bir eser. ( ) It has been a while now since I read Herodotus and Thucydides, and reading the Athenian Constitution was welcome opportunity to reengage with the stories of interesting Greek characters and political figures like Solon, Pisistratus, Cleisthene, Aristides, Pericles, Themistocles. The author of the Athenian Constitution (who was almost certainly not Aristotle himself, but likely a pupil) has a notable bias for the aristocratic agenda in his historical accounts, but also appears to draw from sources now lost to us. Even more interesting is the author's account of the contemporary political bureaucracy of his day. There are not many other documents in the world that so explicitly discuss how an urban centre circa 325 BCE is organized: from who fixes the roads and repairs the temples, to who makes sure that the women who are hired for playing flutes at parties are not overpaid (i.e. price-fixing the market to keep the cost of entertainment low and women poor/ socially dependent). This is a glimpse into another world, where power, economics, and social stratification is both bizarrely different and sometimes unsettlingly familiar. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Probably written by a student of Aristotle, The Athenian Constitution is both a history and an analysis of Athens' political machinery between the seventh and fourth centuries BC, which stands as a model of democracy at a time when city-states lived under differing kinds of government. The writer recounts the major reforms of Solon, the rule of the tyrant Pisistratus and his sons, the emergence of the democracy in which power was shared by all free male citizens, and the leadership of Pericles and the demagogues who followed him. He goes on to examine the city's administration in his own time - the council, the officials and the judicial system. For its information on Athens' development and how the democracy worked, The Athenian Constitution is an invaluable source of knowledge about the Athenian city-state.
