Legal history: western Europe & Scandinavia: Ancient Greek Law

The ancient Greek world had no single system of law; individual states instead formed their own political and legal systems, although these were arguably based largely on the same general principles. 

The most widely-known Greek judicial system is that of 4^th century classical Athens, traditionally associated with the birth of democracy.  It was primarily the abstract philosophical ideas surrounding law and justice that had the greatest impact on later societies, rather than the practical aspects of the legal system itself.
