Reviews
""[Plastow's] book is interesting and thought-provoking, and will certainly be a useful tool for scholars of Athenian society, oratory and law."" - The Classical Review, 2020 ""Die Arbeit von Plastow hat die komplexe Einstellung zu Gewaltverbrechen und ihrer gerichtlichen Ahndung im klassischen Athen akribisch und kompetent untersucht... Hervorgehoben zu haben, dass sie in den Augen der Bürger eine spezielle Qualität hatten, ist das Verdienst von Plastows Werk."" [The work of Plastow has meticulously and competently examined the complex attitudes to violent crimes and their judicial punishment in classical Athens ... To have highlighted that they had a special quality in the eyes of the citizens is the merit of Plastow's work] - Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2021
