Athens After the Peloponnesian War: Class, Faction and Policy 403-386 by Barry S. Strauss "Class, Faction and Policy: Athens After the Peloponnesian War, 403-386 B.C." is a book written by Barry S. Strauss. Published on September 1, 1986, this hardcover book delves into the historical period immediately following the conclusion of the Peloponnesian War in ancient Greece. The book focuses on the city-state of Athens, which emerged as one of the leading powers in Greece during the fifth century B.C. However, the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta, which lasted from 431 to 404 B.C., resulted in a significant loss of power and influence for Athens. Barry S. Strauss examines the political, social, and economic dynamics of Athens during the years 403 to 386 B.C. This period is crucial because it witnessed Athens' attempts to recover from the war and rebuild its empire. The author explores how different social classes and factions within the city-state influenced policy-making and shaped the course of Athenian history. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the various political factions, such as the democrats, oligarchs, and radicals, and their interactions with each other in the post-war period. It delves into the policies implemented by these factions and their impact on Athens' domestic affairs, foreign relations, and military capabilities. Through meticulous research and analysis of ancient sources, Barry S. Strauss offers a comprehensive examination of Athens' struggle for stability, prosperity, and power after the devastating Peloponnesian War. The book sheds light on the complex interplay between class interests, factional rivalries, and the broader political landscape in ancient Athens. "Class, Faction and Policy: Athens After the Peloponnesian War, 403-386 B.C." is a valuable resource for historians, classicists, and anyone interested in the political and social history of ancient Greece, particularly the post-war period of Athens. The condition of the book is very good and the pages inside the book are clean.
