Klappentext zu „The Return of the Polis: The Use and Meanings of the Word Polis in Archaic and Classical Sources “
Polis , in plural poleis , is the word the ancient Greeks used to describe their principal type of state and community and the most common of all nouns in ancient Greek. In Archaic and Classical sources there are over 11,000 attestations of the word, and they show that it was used in two different senses: (1) town (sometimes including the hinterland) and (2) state (sometimes including the territory). Often it carries both senses simultaneously and denotes both the state and its urban centre.The Copenhagen Polis Centre (1993-2005) conducted a number of investigations into the use and meanings of the term polis in all Archaic and Classical sources to find out what the Greeks thought a polis was. The present volume is a thoroughly revised and updated comprehensive publication of all these studies, to which four new studies have been added. They show that the two different meanings of the word polis are connected through their reference: with very few exceptions every polis town was the urban centre of a polis state, and conversely: virtually every polis state had an urban centre called a polis in the sense of town.

Rezension zu „The Return of the Polis: The Use and Meanings of the Word Polis in Archaic and Classical Sources “
"The book is carefully edited. Its index of geographical names makes a work of this kind particularly useful. I think that The Return of the Polis, being a collection of typical CPC approaches to various types of evidence, will serve for many as a reference work and a companion volume of IACP." -- http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2008/2008-02-46.html"... für künftige Studien zur griechischen Polis ein unentbehrliches Nachschlagewerk ... . Die im Kopenhagener `Polis CentreŽ entstandenen Untersuchungen haben mit dieser Arbeit einen würdigen Abschluß gefunden." -- Historische Zeitschrift 287, 2008
"Mit dem im Jahre 2003 publizierten Aufsatz '95 Theses about the Greek Polis in the Archaic and Classical Periods. A Report on the Results Obtained by the Copenhagen Polis Centre in their Period 1993-2003', dem im Jahre 2006 erschienenen Buch 'Polis. An Introduction to the Ancient Greek City State' und dem hier angezeigten Sammelband liegt nun ... eine Synthese der Forschungen Mogens Herman Hansens zur griechischen polis aus den letzten gut zwei Dekaden vor. In dieser Zeitspanne ist die Erforschung der griechischen poleis in archaischer und klassischer Zeit ganz unzweifelhaft von Hansen auf ein neues Fundament erstellt worden. Die von ihm erarbeiteten materiellen Grundlagen werden ebenso wie seine auf diesen fußenden Ergebnisse und seine aus ihnen entwickelten Thesen [...] als eine geradezu monolithische Basis jeglicher zukünftiger altertumswissenschaftlicher Forschung zur polis in archaischer und klassischer Zeit fungieren..." -- Gymnasium 117, 2010/2
