Our Beloved Polites: Studies presented to P.J. Rhodes

Twenty-eight contributions pay tribute to one of the most remarkable historians of ancient Greece, Professor P. J. Rhodes, to celebrate his life and work which has been and will continue to be a major reference for scholars around the world. The volume is organised in four sections: History and Biography, Law, Politics, and Epigraphy.

''Contrary to what is sometimes excessively used in tribute works, the collection of contributions in this volume was very well directed thematically and the resulting articles are, for the most part, innovative and relevant in the field of documentary heuristics covered.'' – Martim Aires Horta (2023): Cadmo – Revista de História Antiga

‘The volume is produced to a high standard. … The substance and quality of each contribution is consistently high. This collection of essays is a fitting tribute to its honorand and a fascinating cross-section of work currently being undertaken by Greek historians and epigraphers across the discipline’s various sub-fields.’ – Thomas Clements (2025): The Classical Review

Our Beloved Polites assembles a large number of studies presented in honour of one of the most remarkable historians of ancient Greece, Professor P. J. Rhodes, to celebrate his life and the splendidly scholarly work which has been and will continue to be a major reference for scholars around the world. The volume starts with an appreciation of the honorand by John Davies, followed by twenty-eight contributions from junior and established scholars, organised in four sections that map closely onto four prominent areas of P. J. Rhodes’ research into ancient Greece: History and Biography, Law, Politics, and Epigraphy.
