Oaths and Swearing in Ancient Greece
Oaths and Swearing in Ancient Greece
The oath was an institution of fundamental importance across a wide
range of social interactions throughout the ancient Greek world, making a
crucial contribution to social stability and harmony; yet there has
been no comprehensive, dedicated scholarly study of the subject for over
a century. This volume of a two-volume study explores the nature of
oaths as Greeks perceived it, the ways in which they were used (and
sometimes abused) in Greek life and literature, and their inherent
binding power.
