ISBN10: 0195079280, ISBN13: 9780195079289, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. This book draws on a wide range of evidence to study the history of Athens from 386 to 322 B.C. Taking a sympathetic view of the Second Athenian League, Sealey focuses on the career of Demosthenes to provide important insights into Athenian politics and policies. Demosthenes experienced repeated setbacks in his early attempts at public activity, but found his mission as a statesman in the conflict with Macedon and subsequently became the leading man in Athens.Sealey rejects theories that assume programmatic divisions among Athenian statesmen into pro- and anti-Macedonians, and argues that all Athenians active in politics resented Macedonian ascendancy butrecognized the necessity of accommodation to superior power. His account concludes with the defeat of Athens and its allies and the suicide of Demosthenes, presenting new insights not only into the life of Demosthenes and the turbulent years of his political career, but also the social and international factors bearing on Athenian political activity in general. A study of the political history of Greece, especially Athens, from 386 to 322 BC. Although Demosthenes figures largely, the book is not purely biographical, and a good deal of attention is paid to social and international factors bearing on Athenian political activity during this period.
