The decline of citizen democracy over this era causes sadness, whilst at the same time the relentless rise of “capital” brings recognition that over the LH-ER period many aspects of modern economic activity become visible, together with a vast range of wealth and statuses that also reminds me of the inequalities created by contemporary processes of globalization. Yet out of this transforming period we see ordinary people emerge to express themselves in the plays of the Athenian New Comedy, the Tanagra figurines, and the individualized statues of the great and minor figures of the age.
