Steinbock, Bernd: Social Memory in Athenian Public Discourse

Uses and Meanings of the Past. Prompted by the abundant historical allusions in Athenian political and diplomatic discourse, Steinbock analyzes the uses and meanings of the past in fourth-century Athens, using Thebes' role in Athenian memory as a case study. This examination is based upon the premise that Athenian social memory, that is, the shared and often idealized and distorted image of the past, should not be viewed as an unreliable counterpart of history but as an invaluable key to the Athenians' mentality.
