It argues that the purpose of kinship arguments was not so much to persuade as to set a suitable framework for the diplomatic exchange.

There is a long history of successful engagement between social science and classical studies. Social science has been a source of new and productive approaches to understanding ancient Greece, while classical Greek history and culture has been a touchstone for social theorists since the 19th century. This new collection of essays surveys the current state of the new field of ‘social science Greek history’ and demonstrates the potential of this interdisciplinary field.
Substantial bodies of work that have contributed in fundamental ways to our understanding of classical Greece and its cultural legacy were produced in 20th century, by employing methods from anthropology, sociology, and psychology. More recently, the use of quantitative methods and formal theory, drawn from contemporary political science, economics, and sociology, has led to a new understanding of ancient Greek economic and political development. Meanwhile, normative considerations, drawn from contemporary political philosophy, have led to a richer understanding of Greek political thought and Greek institutional innovations – notably including democracy and the rule of law.

Introduces a new field within classical studies
Demonstrates the value of robustly interdisciplinary scholarship
Shows the practical value of social science for ancient history
Highlights the importance of Greek case studies for social science
Contributors include Sara Forsdyke, David Lewis, Robert Fleck and Andrew Hanssen

Rome, Polybius and the East: the collected papers of the late Peter Derow (Oxford University Press 2015)

With a detailed introduction by the editors, the papers make up a distinctive and influential body of work—essential reading for anyone interested in Roman imperialism or Polybius, and Rome's rise to Mediterranean power. They include Derow's classic survey articles on the Roman conquest of the East, the great Greek historian Polybius, his investigations of the Roman calendar, and several papers on epigraphy. It also contains a bibliography of Derow's work.
