贿赂（或者更具体地说，贿赂指控）似乎一直是雅典政治生活的一个主要特征，如果法律法庭演讲和喜剧戏剧的证据是可信的。本文将讨论雅典人deÃmos在法律上和思想上对其政治体系中这一令人讨厌的特征的反应。从许多贿赂指控的恶毒性质和反贿赂立法的数量可以清楚地看出，这通常被认为是有害的，这是雅典人想要减少的。他们主要通过两种方式来做到这一点：通过直接立法来阻止和惩罚违法者，以及通过旨在使成功行贿或收受贿赂成为不可能的预防措施。
Bribery (or more speci® cally, bribery accusations) seem to have been a major feature of Athenian political life, if the evidence of law court speeches and comic drama is to be believed. How the Athenian deÃmos reacted to this unsavoury feature of their political system, both legally and intellectually, is the subject of this article. It is clear from the vicious nature of many bribery accusations and the amount of anti-bribery legislation that it was generally thought of as detrimental, and was something that the Athenians wanted to reduce. They did this principally in two ways: through direct legislation to deter and punish wrongdoers and through preventative measures designed to make it di cult to successfully give or receive bribes.
