Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Ostracism, i. e. the well-known voting procedure which gave the Athenian citizens the power to exile one of their leading politicians every year is widely attested in an-cient literary sources as well as in primary evidence (e. g. about ten thousand pre-served ostraka); unfortunately most of the informations provided by these sources are considered to be biased or unreliable by modern scholars. Therefore scholarly opinions differ widely as regards the reconstruction of this institution and the history of its use in fifth-century Athens.

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in the discussiona, the scholarly research and writing of a research paper on some ostracism-related topics

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The present course aims at initiating a fresh discussion and interpreation of the evidence for some aspects of the Athenian ostracism.
