• Resumen

  • As an homage paid to Jean-Pierre Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Niquet we have been revisiting the whole of contributions proposed by the Frech studies on political space of the Greeks. The particular case examined is the Athenian one, from Theseus' mythical synoecism to historical Cleistenes' reform. Human interventions on physical grounds, documented by archaeology, are interpreted. After a re-reading historical sources, the anthropological validity of the interpretation of public space, as shaped in the Louis Gernet's essay on political symbolism of the "koiné bestia", finds a problematical confirmation.
