The World Of Prometheus
Shows that punishment gave the community an opportunity to establish a shining myth of harmony and cleanliness: that the city of Athens could be purified of anger and social struggle, and perfect order achieved. This book shows that anger, honor, reciprocity, spectacle, and social memory constantly prevailed in Athenian law and politics.
