This book examines the oratorical appeals deployed in assembly speeches to understand the wide range of thinking and feeling that determined Athenian foreign policy decisions. It draws on theories of militarism, international relations, games, gender, and metaphor to show how even seemingly irrational appeals made sense in their context.
