Politica Y Religion En Atenas Arcaica / Politics And Religion In Archaic Athens

The election of Solon to Archon in the early 6th century BC paved the way for a series of political and religious reforms in Athens. This is not an exhaustive history of those reforms, but it is a discussive and analytical essay on the nature of religion, society, politics and institutions before, during and after Solons legislation. Based on archaeological, literary and religious evidence, Valdés discusses the formation of a civic religion, the consolidation of the polis in Athens and the re-organisation of festivals and cults within the context of other political and institutional reforms.
