Atene, la regalità ellenistica e l’autodeterminazione politica

Hellenistic Athens, with its extensive historiographical and epigraphical dossier, is a privileged observation point for understanding the positioning of Hellenistic kingships compared to the Greek poleis and the latters’ need to relate to them by accepting their domination and often internal interference. A reinterpretation of the categories of imposed hegemony and political self-determination, only seemingly opposed, allows us to understand the real impact of kingship on Athens and the relationship between this impact and the internal exercise of politics.
