Exile, Ostracism, and Democracy: The Politics of Expulsion in Ancient Greece

Explores the cultural and political significance of ostracism in democratic Athens. This book argues that ostracism was primarily a symbolic institution whose meaning for the Athenians was determined both by past experiences of exile and by its role as a context for the ongoing negotiation of democratic values.
