This volume offers a history of the role of exile in the Greek city-state in the period c. 404-146 BC, from the end of the Peloponnesian War to the Roman conquest of the Greek world.
Gray's book is very successful in highlighting the tensions inherent in Greek political culture and the constant interplay between different visions of good civic order. ... The reader will also benefit from the constant integration of evidence from literary texts (mainly by orators and philosophers) and a vast collection of epigraphic documents.
