grbs-16062	Sørensen, Anders Dahl	Hippodamus of Miletus and the Character of the Athenian Dikastic Oath (Arist. Pol. 2.8)	2018	25	.pdf	application/pdf	9749	363	57	Whereas the first part of that discussion focuses on epieikeia in the technical sense of the ability to rectify the inevitable shortcomings of the law, towards the end of the chapter Aristotle emphasises the more traditional Greek conception of the virtue, understood in terms of indulgence and leniency.25 The epieikēs man, Aristotle explains there, is someone who does not stubbornly insist on his rights and on the applica- tion of strict legal justice. The passage is in Aristotle’s discussion of the Politeia (‘Ideal City’) of Hippodamus of Miletus in the second book of the Politics (2.8).	cache/grbs-16062.pdf	txt/grbs-16062.txt
