| Summary: | The remarkable spread of democracy in the late-twentieth century has
led to renewed interest in the roots of western democracy in ancient
Athens. This study examines a facet of the Athenian experience that
has received less scholarly attention than it deserves: the nature and
scope of bad citizenship in classical Athens (508/7–322/1 B.C.) and the
city’s responses, institutional and ideological, to this. Good citizenship
is not ubiquitous in modern democracies, and it was not in democratic
Athens |
