Scholarship on ancient Greek law has diversified in recent years. Conceptual challenges from the division between History of Law and Ancient History have subsided. Also, as the conversation unfolds, new sources hailing from various corners of the Greek world enrich the picture; they complement the prominence previous research has assigned to Athens and Crete as unique places of study. The current volume fully embraces these developments. Fleshing out the intersection between the unity of Greek law on the one hand and its manifestation in countless cities on the other, each one with striking idiosyncrasy in legal administration and practice, it explores new perspectives on the interplay between local law and legal coherence in ancient Greece from Archaic to Hellenistic times.
