Edward Cohen redefines the understanding of ancient Athens by arguing that it should be viewed not only as a polis but also as a "nation" (ethnos). He highlights the importance of economic, religious, sexual, and social factors alongside political aspects, challenging the traditional focus on the male citizen body. By examining ancient sources, Cohen reveals that Athenian identity and life were complex and multifaceted, suggesting a broader interpretation of its societal structure and dynamics.
