Abstract
Did equality exist in archaic Greece? Robert Wallace's challenging paper aims at demonstrating that equality was an idea and a practice already in Homer and in the archaic Greek poets; moreover, the first laws were written down in order to guarantee equal justice for everybody, even for the common people. A more careful analysis of the available sources shows however that the general situation cannot be described always in these terms.
