Eubulo e i <em>Poroi</em> di Senofonte. L’Atene del IV secolo tra riflessione teorica e pratica politica
de Martinis, Livia
2018
Abstract
The book is structured in three chapters. The first one is dedicated to the biography and political activity of the Athenian Euboulos, on the basis of literary and epigraphic sources: the chapters reconsiders the aspects of the vulgata that do not seem to rest on a solid documentary basis and values some elements of the tradition so far not adequately considered; it is completed by an appendix that includes the main testimonia discussed in the essay. The second chapter focuses on the Xenophon’s Poroi, written in the aftermath of the Social war, and examines the economic measures proposed by this treatise, which aims to ensure to Athens an ethically correct way of support. Finally, the third chapter attempts to include both the political activity of Euboulos and the theorization of Xenophon in the overall panorama of contemporary publicistic, to highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of the socio-economic perspectives of the Fourth century Athen. Finally the concluding considerations underline the relationship between the aimed economic rebirth of the city and the issue of hegemony.
