Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Civic Rites explores the religious origins of Western democracy by examining the government of fifth-century BCE Athens in the larger context of ancient Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. Deftly combining history, politics, and religion to weave together stories of democracyâs first leaders and critics, Nancy Evans gives readers a contemporaryâs perspective on Athenian society. She vividly depicts the physical environment and the ancestral rituals that nourished the people of the earliest democratic state, demonstrating how religious concerns were embedded in Athenian governmental processes. The bookâs lucid portrayals of the best-known Athenian festivalsÂhonoring Athena, Demeter, and DionysusÂoffer a balanced view of Athenian ritual and illustrate the range of such customs in fifth-century Athens.
