Kurztext
"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."
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"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
