Mogens Herman Hansen’s Contribution to the Study of Greek Law
Abstract
Hansen was not a legal historian by academic background. However, his research on the nature of the polis represents a fundamental contribution to the study of what we might, to some extent anachronistically, call Greek public law. He presented a paper only twice at the Symposion on Greek Law, namely at the Third Symposion (Chantilly 1977, Hansen 1982) and the Fourth Symposion (Aegina 1979, Hansen 1983a). In both cases, these were parerga related to previously published works (respectively, the book on the Apagoge from 1976 and Aspects of the Athenian Society in the Fourth Century B.C. (1975, in collaboration with S. Isager). After the 1977 Symposion, his interests were increasingly centered on Athenian politics and political institutions, rather than law.
