Eutopia and Polis: the place of innocence and felicity in the ancient Greeks image

Human beings have imaged ideal societies across the time, with the aim of going beyond real ones, and solving the problems emerged from common life. This article intends to remark that theorical conceptions of society frequently have an `eutopian' counterpart, that means, a very best physical or geographical location. It can be appreciated precisely in the Ancient Greek world. In order to approach to this subject, we will depart from the usual version in the polis of the Golden Age given by Hesiod, and we will put it together with the eutopian reformation proposed by Pythagoreans and the `conservative' presentation found in Aristotle's Politics and Ethics.
