Abstract
El presente artículo explora dos obras pioneras en España sobre la Atenas democrática de la antigüedad, escritas durante el franquismo: Vida de Sócrates (1947, 1953 2 , reed. 1966, 1984) y La democracia ateniense (1975, 1966 1 bajo el título Ilustración y política en la Grecia clásica), escritas respectivamente por Antonio Tovar Llorente (1911-1985) y Francisco Rodríguez Adrados (nacido 1922). El artículo discute, centrándose en el tratamiento en las obras del sorteo –el elemento más distintivo de la democracia antigua ateniense–, las contradicciones internas, las lecturas sesgadas ideológicamente, así como los logros. El análisis se basa, primero, en la oposición entre ciencia e ideología, partiendo de la lectura de Ellen M. Wood sobre estudiosos del mundo clásico y, segundo, en un marco de sociología de los intelectuales.
This article explores two groundbreaking studies of Ancient Democratic Athens in Franco’s Spain: Life of Socrates (1947, 1953 2 , reed. 1966, 1984) and The Athenian Democracy (1975, 1966 1 , then entitled Enlightenment and Politics in Classical Greece), written, respectively, by renowned scholars Antonio Tovar Llorente (1911- 1985) and Francisco Rodríguez Adrados (born 1922). The article analyses, through a discussion focused on the treatment in those works of the most distinctive element of Ancient Athenian Democracy, the selection by lot (sortition), their internal contradictions, ideological misreadings, as well as the achievements. Firstly, the analysis is based on the opposition between ideology and science, as read by Ellen M. Wood in classical scholars and, secondly, on a framework of Sociology of the intellectuals.
