The Ancient World Online: Ancient Greek Law

Scholarship on ancient Greek law has diversified in recent years.
Conceptual challenges from the division between History of Law and
Ancient History have subsided. Also, as the conversation unfolds, new
sources hailing from various corners of the Greek world enrich the
picture; they complement the prominence previous research has assigned
to Athens and Crete as unique places of study. The current volume fully
embraces these developments. Fleshing out the intersection between the
unity of Greek law on the one hand and its manifestation in countless
cities on the other, each one with striking idiosyncrasy in legal
administration and practice, it explores new perspectives on the
interplay between local law and legal coherence in ancient Greece from
Archaic to Hellenistic times.
