An interdisciplinary and highly original study of the early ancient Greek uses of the word nomos and its family of words In 'The Birth of Nomos', Thanos Zartaloudis assembles a complex genealogy of the ancient Greek word 'nomos', elucidating the complexity and the richness of the uses of a word that was to later become famously known as a key classical (and modern) term for 'law' and 'law-making'. Collecting and analysing for the first time in the field of legal studies a large number of primary ancient sources in the original and in translation, this volume opens an interdisciplinary pathway of scholarship into the 'foundations' of ancient legal history and invites a new and comprehensive understanding of the Western legal tradition. Thanos Zartaloudis is Reader in Legal Theory and History at Kent Law School, University of Kent and Lecturer in History and Theory Studies at the School of Architecture, Architectural Association.
