  1. Justice and Good Governance.Vassilis Lambropoulos - 1997 - Thesis Eleven 49 (1):1-30.

    This paper addresses the question of the role of ostracism in democratic Athens.

I show that aristocratic "politics of exile" was a fundamental political problem in the archaic polis and that democratic political power, symbolized by the institution of ostracism, was the polis' solution to the problem. In the archaic polis, the expulsion (...)
