More about the book

The cultural and political significance of ostracism in democratic Athens is examined, with an emphasis on its role as a symbolic institution. Sara Forsdyke contends that the meaning of ostracism for Athenians was shaped by their historical experiences of exile and its function in the continuous negotiation of democratic values. This perspective challenges previous interpretations, offering a deeper understanding of how ostracism influenced Athenian society and democracy.
