The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Political Thought (The Cambridge History of Political Thought) by C. J. Rowe
This seems like a pretty complete introduction to political thought in classical antiquity. Every essay is of high quality and together they provide a balanced overview of the subject. Several essays also indicate how ancient lines of thought differed from modern political ideas and how fragmentary our knowledge of political thought and practice in antiquity still is. Lots of good references are also given for those who want to explore this topic further.

Η στωική ιδέα της πόλης by Malcolm Schofield
Ο συγγραφέας εξετάζει τις διαμάχες των αρχαίων φιλοσόφων σχετικά με την Πολιτεία, παρέχει γραμματολογικά τεκμήρια για το περιεχόμενο της και ανιχνεύει την έννοια του έρωτα, που ήταν για τον Ζήνωνα θεμελιώδης αρχή της πολιτικής ενότητας. Στο έργο του Χρυσίππου, η ιδέα show more μιας πολιτείας σοφών μετασχηματίζεται σε θεωρία μιας κοσμικής πόλης θεών και ανθρώπων. Ο συγγραφέας εξετάζει τα επιχειρήματα αυτής της θεωρίας και την εντάσσει στα αρχικά της πνευματικά συμφραζόμενα.
Στο χώρο του πολιτικού στοχασμού, οι πρώιμοι Στωικοί φιλόσοφοι εγκαινίασαν τη μακρά παράδοση της θεωρίας του φυσικού νόμου. Στην περίφημη «Πολιτεία» του, ο Ζήνων, ιδρυτής της Σχολής, όρισε μια κοινότητα αγαθών και σοφών με βάση το κλασικό πρότυπο του ιδεώδους κράτους. Στο βιβλίο του, ο Malcolm Schofield εξετάζει τις διαμάχες των αρχαίων φιλοσόφων σχετικά με την «Πολιτεία», παρέχει γραμματολογικά τεκμήρια για το περιεχόμενό της και ανιχνεύει την έννοια του έρωτα, που ήταν για τον Ζήνωνα θεμελιώδης αρχή της πολιτικής ενότητας.
