Aristoteles Und Athen: Volume 2

Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931) was one of the most prominent German philologists of his time and his work is still well regarded.

This book, originally published in 1893, is a detailed analysis of the The Constitution of the Athenians, then usually (though not universally) regarded as a work of Aristotle.

Wilamowitz accepts Aristotle's authorship of the famous treatise on the history of the constitution that restored democracy after the oligarchy of the Thirty (403 BCE).

Volume 2 reconstructs Athenian constitutional history on the basis of the work.

A number of essays addressing topics on Athenian constitutional history and drawing on such figures as Solon, Peisistratus, Lysias and Isocrates are also included.
