Moral Values and Political Behaviour in Ancient Greece: From Homer to the End of the Fifth Century

By the end of the fifth century the Greeks faced serious problems, not because they had abandoned traditional values to which they needed to be recalled, but because they retained them in a situation far different from that in which the values had developed and were appropriate.
