"In this short book, written in a lively and accessible style, Sian Lewis presents ancient Greek tyranny as a phenomenon much more varied and interesting than negative Aristotelian (and modern) notions of tyranny imply."--Polis "What is novel and very valuable about this study is its broad chronological and geographical perspective on tyranny. By examining fourth and third century tyrannies, and by including Magna Graecia and the Asia Minor in her analysis, Lewis destabilizes our vision of Greek tyranny."--Polis, "In this short book, written in a lively and accessible style, Sian Lewis presents ancient Greek tyranny as a phenomenon much more varied and interesting than negative Aristotelian (and modern) notions of tyranny imply."--Polis"What is novel and very valuable about this study is its broad chronological and geographical perspective on tyranny.
