4 hours Athenian democracy, especially in its most radical form, was a grand experiment in shared governance, and some might say, ultimately a spectacular failure. Aristophanes is our most direct witness to its practice, but because he was a comedic playwright, we are left with the difficult task of discerning fact from fantasy, reality from satire. We are fortunate to have other testimoniesfrom historians, philosophers, inscriptions, and (cranky) participantswhich, together with the comedies of Aristophanes, will serve as our guides into the world of the fifth-century BCE Athenians and the development of their political practices. We will also explore the paradoxes between their democratic ideals and their imperialism and martial aggression. Finally, we will think critically about how the voices of the ancient past echo in our present. Restricted to Graduate - Chicago or Graduate Non-Degree Chicago.
