{"product_id":"greek-law-in-its-political-setting","title":"Greek Law in Its Political Setting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume explores the way in which law integrated with other aspects of life in ancient Greece. The papers collected here reveal a number of different pathways between law and political, social, and economic life in Greek societies. Emanating from several scholarly traditions, they offer a range of contrasting but complementary insights rarely collected together. What emerges clearly is that law in Greece only takes on its full meaning in a broadly political\n\u003cbr\u003econtext. Dynamic tensions govern the relationships between this semi-autonomous legal arena and other spheres of life. An ideology of equality before the law was juxtaposed with a practical reality of\n\u003cbr\u003eindividuals' unequal abilities to cope with it. It is hard to draw firm lines between the settlement of cases in court and the spill-over of legal actions into the agora, the streets, the fields, and the houses. Hence it is hardly surprising if justice can all too easily give way to justification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156989571310,"sku":"9780198140856","price":391.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198140856.jpg?v=1706223099","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/greek-law-in-its-political-setting","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
