Eleusis and Athens: Documents in Finance, Religion, and Politics in the Fifth Century B.C.: Society for Classical Studies American Classical Studies

Autor Maureen B. Cavanaugh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 1996
Eleusis and Athens offers a new text and detailed commentary on two account-inventories for a major panhellenic sanctuary (Demeter) during the final decade of the fifth century BC. In addition to the publication of inscriptions, the accompanying commentary provides a wide array of information regarding the daily operations of a religious sanctuary and argues for a re-dating of the First-Fruits decree and the Epistatai decree to the 430s.

Recenzii

'although it does not completely succeed in its ambitious goal of undermining both meritocracy and equality as criteria for equal opportunity, this is a well-argued, insightful, highly nuanced book, well worth close study by anyone who is concerned to make sense of the concept of equal opportunity. It is a model of close, rigorous, analytic thinking about moral matters. It challenges received orthodoxies at several points, and forces all of us to reevaluate our commitment to meritocracy and equality.'
Cavanaugh's text and commentary make available to us a fascinating picture of the financial underpinnings and some of the day-to-day operations of one of Greece's major religious shrines.
