This volume illustrates all the major aspects of later fifth-century Athens. Topics
covered include: attitudes to the natural resources of Attica; the parts played in society
by citizens, slaves, women and resident aliens; the (surprising, to us) way the legal
system operated; the revolutionary impact of the sophists on physics, ethics, religion and
education; the social and political importance of drama, music, sculpture, architecture
and painting; advances in mathematics and other sciences; athletics as a concern of the
state as well as individuals. There are indexes of passages translated and referred to,
and of names and subjects. Of great value for all study of the literature, art, and
history of ancient Athens, knowledge of LACTOR 12 is expected in the OCR Ancient History AS/A-level module 'The Culture of
Athens'. Available in a set with LACTORs 1 ,
2 and 5 .
