In this remarkable work, Thomson sees the study of Greek history, society, and literature not as a pursuit for a little band of specialists, but rather as a study of "a process of continuous change, which, if it can be made to reveal its underlying laws, will help the reader to understand, and so direct, the forces making for change in the society of today.

It is a profound inquiry into the origins and development of Athenian democracy, and as such an inquiry into the roots of western civilisation and culture. For Professor Thomson's contention is that the plays of Aeschylus contain fundamental problems which could never be solved within the accepted limits of either conventional literary criticism or conventional classical scholarship.
