The Honey and the Hemlock by Eli Sagan
Examining Athenian democracy as an object lesson for democracy in general, and invoking Freud as his guide in this task, Eli Sagan explores the startling contradictions in the society of Athens: its delicious honey and its deadly hemlock.
"The highest praise that I can bestow upon The Honey and the Hemlock by Eli Sagan is that it's the political equivalent of Harold Bloom's remarkable The Book of J--an audacious rereading of ancient texts that take on new and startling meaning when seen through the eyes of a daring interpreter"--Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
Eli Sagan is Lecturer in Sociology on the Graduate Faculty, New School for Social Research, New York City. Among his books on psychology and politics is Freud, Women, and Morality (Basic Books).
