Deception and Democracy in Classical Athens
Hesk, Jon (University of St Andrews, Scotland)
This book, first published in 2000, is a study of the ways in which classical Athenian texts represent and evaluate the morality of deception. It is particularly concerned with the way in which the telling of lies was a problem for the world's first democracy and compares this problem with the modern Western situation.
