Summary: Polis and Politics: The Legacy of Mogens Herman Hansen
Comment: This volume is a collection of essays offered by important scholars to one of today's foremost historians of the ancient city state. The collection is generally of the specialist's level, although dedicated hellenophiles will find much here worthy of reading. Hensen has been very concerned with defining the city-state, and the conceptual focus of these contributions reflects that concern, without losing sight of the need for proper evidence and interpretation. For example, the essay by S. J. Miller shows the connection between ancient athletics and the ideals of deomocracy and oligarchy. J.

Hansen's opening poem shows that he has not lost the gift of humor!...
