Reflections on Athenian History and Ostracism in Politics
A London writer discusses political libelling in Britain, then surveys Athenian democracy. He explains ostracism as a ten year banishment used to curb powerful figures, cites Miltiades and Themistocles, and notes how fear of strong leaders shaped Athens. He laments later misuses of power and praises virtue and justice.
