The Athenian Constitution is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It is a detailed analysis of the political system of Athens, one of the most prominent city-states of ancient Greece. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the government structure, the laws, and the institutions of Athens, including the assembly, the council of 500, and the courts. Aristotle describes the functions and responsibilities of each of these institutions, and provides insights into the political culture and values of Athens. He also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Athenian system, and compares it to other forms of government. The Athenian Constitution is considered one of the most important works of political philosophy in the Western tradition, and has been studied and debated by scholars for centuries.[They were tried] by a court empanelled from among the noble families, and sworn upon the sacrifices. The part of accuser was taken by Myron. They were found guilty of the sacrilege, and their bodies were cast out of their graves and their race banished for evermore. In view of this expiation, Epimenides the Cretan performed a purification of the city.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
