Formation and development of the concepts of liberty in the ancient philosophic tradition

The article investigates how the concepts of liberty formed and developed in the ancient philosophic tradition. We consider the dynamics of the category of liberty in ancient culture and philosophy from the Ancient Greek mythology up to the Roman Stoicism. We determined that in antiquity liberty was interpreted in conjunction with the analysis of the person's activity and behaviour.
