Long description:
Cities of the Gods is a historical study of the theory of Utopian communism in ancient Greek thought, identifying and assessing its several currents. The author looks at the reason for the decline of the Utopian traditions after c. 150 BC and suggests that the main factor was the Roman conquest of the Greek world, which produced a more conservative intellectual climate. He concludes by looking at the evidence for the survival of utopian traditions, particularly their influence on early Christianity.
`This is a most welcome book on a subject of great interest ... Altogether, this is an admirable study, in which much out-of-the-way material is brought together, and discussed with great good sense and some humour ... an admirable achievement'
John Dillon, Trinity College, Dublin
