Description

This Routledge monograph offers a detailed examination of how ancient authors explored the political role of kingship. The book analyzes how kingship stories were used to explain the unity of the polis in both the past and present. It investigates the specific status and functions attributed to kings within these historical and literary accounts. The text explores the concepts of kingship presented by historians such as Herodotus and examines the works of dramatists writing for the Athenian stage. A significant focus is placed on dramatic depictions of Theseus and his unique capabilities in uniting the city as a democratic king. This scholarly work provides deep insights into the construction of civic unity through the lens of classical Greek political thought.
