Law, Sexuality, and Society The Enforcement of Morals in Classical Athens

Centering on the legal and social context of adultery, homosexuality and impiety in Athenian society, this book examines the regulation of sexuality, the family and unorthodox religious beliefs in a face-to-face society such a classical Athens, by placing the question in a larger comparative and theoretical framework. It uses comparative evidence from contemporary anthropology and social theory to show how the examination of such issues can deepen our understanding of classical Athens, particularly in regard to the role of law in society.Cohen, David is the author of 'Law, Sexuality, and Society The Enforcement of Morals in Classical Athens' with ISBN 9780521466424 and ISBN 0521466423.
