The Polis - the city - was, for the Greeks, more than just a place to live and work!. It was a place to promote the full mora, spiritual, and intellectual growth of every citizen; and the vehicle within which everyone's highest goals would be achieved!. To be cast out - or exiled - from the city would be like being exiled away from life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
