Indices

"The Copenhagen vision of the polis is likely to remain the starting line for Greek constitutional studies for the foreseeable future. […] I would like to tender a final note of appreciation, speaking as an American classical historian who is actively engaged in training both undergaduate and graduate Greek historians. Our Danish colleagues have given us a remarkable gift in the publications of the Copenhagen Polis Centre, the vast majority of which are in English and thus accessible to non-specialist humanists and social scientists. They have also furnished our students in training with a veritable tool-chest of instruments of our profession, especially fort he early stages of their disciplinary studies. Toward this purpose, Mogens Herman Hansen and his collaborators have achieved an enviably high standard of composition and editing in English..."

Thomas Figueira, Ancient West & East 8, 2009

"As Rhodes remarked …'what needs to be studied is the whole range of Greek civic institutions in all its subtlety and variety.' The published and forthcoming publications of the Copenhagen Polis Centre will be invaluable for the fulfilment of this aspiration."

Journal of Hellenic Studies

"This volume as a whole exemplifies prudent and meticulous scholarship coordinated in the pursuit of a unified goal. Thanks to the CPC, ancient scholars now enjoy a clear understanding of what the Greeks meant by the term 'polis' in the context of the prose authors and inscriptions from the sixth to fourth century BCE. This prolonged study lays the foundation for all future work on the history of Greek community relationships, ethnicities, and polities, and its value cannot be overestimated."
