403 a.C., la sconfitta di Atene nella Guerra del Peloponneso comporta una conseguenza tragica per la città: la fine della democrazia. Azoulay e Ismard ricostruiscono in maniera affascinante e innovativa un passato remoto parlandoci però anche del nostro presente in crisi. Perché questa storia lontana millenni ci riguarda molto da vicino. Il 403 a.C. è un anno tanto distante quanto ancora importante per la storia dell'Europa, perché rappresenta una tappa fondamentale nello sviluppo dell'idea democratica, sulla quale si sarebbe poi andata costruendo, nel bene e nel male, la nostra identità. Infatti, in seguito alla vittoria di Sparta nella Guerra del Peloponneso, nel 404 a.C., i Trenta tiranni prendono il potere ad Atene, smantellando l'architettura politica che aveva sorretto la vita della polis per oltre un secolo, e istituendo un regime oligarchico. Tra l'aprile del 404 a.C. e l'autunno del 403, la città diviene dunque teatro di una lunghissima e violenta guerra civile. A guidare la resistenza agli oligarchi c'è Trasibulo, e dopo dure lotte e sfiancanti negoziati la democrazia viene ristabilita. Vincent Azoulay e Paulin Ismard, due tra i piú autorevoli classicisti contemporanei, ricostruiscono nel dettaglio, con passo da narratori e occhio da storici, questa turbolenta serie di eventi. E lo fanno attraverso un coro di voci che va a comporre un grande e avvincente racconto. Seguiamo il destino di Socrate, sempre sfuggente, del suo discepolo e capo dei tiranni Crizia e dell'abile oratore Lisia. Ma anche di figure minori e ignote come lo scriba Nicomaco, la sacerdotessa Lisimaca e lo schiavo Gerys. Dieci personaggi, molto diversi tra loro, che ci rivelano una molteplicità variegata e plurale di punti di vista sulla quotidianità ateniese dell'epoca. E soprattutto ci rivelano il faticoso processo che deve intraprendere una comunità ferita e andata in pezzi per ristabilire la propria unità e rifondarsi su nuove basi. Una lezione quantomai preziosa per i tempi agitati da cruciali mutamenti che stiamo attraversando. «Atene 403 mette in scena la nostra prima crisi democratica». «Libération» «Una nuova stimolante lettura di un momento chiave della storia europea». «Le Monde»
