Introduction : Athens as paradox -- Athens as nation -- Anomalous Athens -- The local residents of Attika -- An ancient construct : the Athenian nation -- A modern myth : the Athenian village -- Wealthy slaves in a "slave society" -- The social contract : sexual abuse and sexual profit.
Challenging the modern assumption that ancient Athens is best understood as a polis, Edward Cohen boldly recasts our understanding of Athenian political and social life. Cohen demonstrates that ancient sources referred to Athens not only as a polis, but also as a "nation" (ethnos), and that Athens did encompass the characteristics now used to identify a "nation."
