Alexander's Battles with Darius III
Historical Site of Mirhadi Hoseini http://m-hosseini.ir ……………………………………………………………………………………… Anabasis Alexander's Battles with Darius III By Arrian Translated by E. J. Chinnock Book 1, 11- 16 The Battle of Granicus At the beginning of the spring he marched towards the Hellespont, entrusting the affairs of Macedonia and Greece to Antipater. He led with him not much over 30,000 infantry together with light-armed troops and archers, and more than 5,000 cavalry. His march was past the lake Cercinitis, towards Amphipolis and the mouths of the river Strymon. Having crossed this river he passed by the Pangaean mountain, along the road leading to Abdera and Maronea, Grecian cities built on the coast. Thence he arrived at the river Hebrus, and easily crossed it. Thence he proceeded through Paetica to the river Melas, having crossed which he arrived at Sestus, in twenty days altogether from the time of his starting from home. When he came to Elaeus he offered sac rifice to Protesilaus upon the tomb of that hero, both for other reasons and because Protesilaus seemed to have been the first of the Greeks who took part with Agamemnon in the expedition to Ilium to disembark in Asia. The design of this sacrifice was that disembarking in Asia might be more fortunate to himself than that it had been to Protesilaus. He then committed to Parmenio the duty of conveying the cavalry and the greater part of the infantry across from Sestus to Abydus; and they crossed over in 160 triremes, besides many trading vessels. The prevailing account is that Alexander started from Elaeus and put into the Port of Achaeans, that with his own hand he steered the general's ship across, and that when he was about the middle of the channel of the Hellespont he sacrificed a bull to Poseidon and the Nereids, and poured forth a libation to them into the sea from a golden goblet. -
Reading for Monday 4/23/12 History of Rome You Will Find in This Packet
Reading for Monday 4/23/12 A e History of Rome A You will find in this packet three different readings. 1) Augustus’ autobiography. which he had posted for all to read at the end of his life: the Res Gestae (“Deeds Accomplished”). 2) A few passages from Vergil’s Aeneid (the epic telling the story of Aeneas’ escape from Troy and journey West to found Rome. The passages from the Aeneid are A) prophecy of the glory of Rome told by Jupiter to Venus (Aeneas’ mother). B) A depiction of the prophetic scenes engraved on Aeneas’ shield by the god Vulcan. The most important part of this passage to read is the depiction of the Battle of Actium as portrayed on Aeneas’ shield. (I’ve marked the beginning of this bit on your handout). Of course Aeneas has no idea what is pictured because it is a scene from the future... Take a moment to consider how the Battle of Actium is portrayed by Vergil in this scene! C) In this scene, Aeneas goes down to the Underworld to see his father, Anchises, who has died. While there, Aeneas sees the pool of Romans waiting to be born. Anchises speaks and tells Aeneas about all of his descendants, pointing each of them out as they wait in line for their birth. 3) A passage from Horace’s “Song of the New Age”: Carmen Saeculare Important questions to ask yourself: Is this poetry propaganda? What do you take away about how Augustus wanted to be viewed, and what were some of the key themes that the poets keep repeating about Augustus or this new Golden Age? Le’,s The Au,qustan Age 195. -

Herodotus, Xerxes and the Persian Wars IAN PLANT, DEPARTMENT of ANCIENT HISTORY
Herodotus, Xerxes and the Persian Wars IAN PLANT, DEPARTMENT OF ANCIENT HISTORY Xerxes: Xerxes’ tomb at Naqsh-i-Rustam Herodotus: 2nd century AD: found in Egypt. A Roman copy of a Greek original from the first half of the 4th century BC. Met. Museum New York 91.8 History looking at the evidence • Our understanding of the past filtered through our present • What happened? • Why did it happen? • How can we know? • Key focus is on information • Critical collection of information (what is relevant?) • Critical evaluation of information (what is reliable?) • Critical questioning of information (what questions need to be asked?) • These are essential transferable skills in the Information Age • Let’s look at some examples from Herodotus’ history of the Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC • Is the evidence from: ― Primary sources: original sources; close to origin of information. ― Secondary sources: sources which cite, comment on or build upon primary sources. ― Tertiary source: cites only secondary sources; does not look at primary sources. • Is it the evidence : ― Reliable; relevant ― Have I analysed it critically? Herodotus: the problem… Succession of Xerxes 7.3 While Darius delayed making his decision [about his successor], it chanced that at this time Demaratus son of Ariston had come up to Susa, in voluntary exile from Lacedaemonia after he had lost the kingship of Sparta. [2] Learning of the contention between the sons of Darius, this man, as the story goes, came and advised Xerxes to add this to what he said: that he had been born when Darius was already king and ruler of Persia, but Artobazanes when Darius was yet a subject; [3] therefore it was neither reasonable nor just that anyone should have the royal privilege before him. -

RESEÑAS Gerión. Revista de Historia Antigua ISSN: 0213-0181 http://dx.doi.org/10.5209/geri.68601 Adolfo J. Domínguez Monedero (ed.), Politics, Territory and Identity in Ancient Epirus (=Diabaseis 8), Venecia, Edizioni ETS, 2018, 338 pp. [ISBN: 978- 884675415-8]. Léon Heuzey, conservador del Louvre y comisionado de Napoleón III, realizó entre los años 1855 y 1861 una serie de misiones en el norte de Grecia. En sus relatos admitía que los restos y monumentos de esta zona no podían ser comparados con los del Ática o del Peloponeso, ni en número ni calidad, pero también afirmaba que podrían proporcionar nuevos detalles válidos para la historia de Grecia. Esta perspectiva deriva, al menos en parte, de la visión de los clásicos, quienes consideraban a los habitantes de las regiones septentrionales diferentes del conjunto de la Hélade, probablemente por las peculiaridades que mostraba su compleja organización política y administrativa. Es evidente que este planteamiento también influyó en las directrices de las investigaciones sobre esta fascinante cultura que es la Antigua Grecia. Tanto desde el punto de vista arqueológico como documental, epigráfico o iconográfico, los estudios científicos se centraron especialmente en las dos poleis por excelencia, Atenas y Esparta, seguidas de otros lugares que también se erigieron como emblemáticos por el interés que habían despertado en la propia Antigüedad: Knossos, Micenas, Troya, Delfos, Delos, Corinto… Sin duda, este desequilibrio todavía perdura en la actualidad, aunque en los últimos años, de forma paulatina, se ha incrementado el interés en zonas consideradas “marginales”, como es el caso del antiguo Epiro, y así se materializa en las excavaciones arqueológicas, en los estudios epigráficos, lingüísticos y textuales que constituyen la base de nuevas perspectivas y, en definitiva, de una aproximación más certera a las formas de asentamiento y a sociedades diferentes de los supuestos cánones, con un urbanismo menos rotundo o más tardío. -
Monuments, Materiality, and Meaning in the Classical Archaeology of Anatolia
MONUMENTS, MATERIALITY, AND MEANING IN THE CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANATOLIA by Daniel David Shoup A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elaine K. Gazda, Co-Chair Professor John F. Cherry, Co-Chair, Brown University Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Christopher John Ratté Professor Norman Yoffee Acknowledgments Athena may have sprung from Zeus’ brow alone, but dissertations never have a solitary birth: especially this one, which is largely made up of the voices of others. I have been fortunate to have the support of many friends, colleagues, and mentors, whose ideas and suggestions have fundamentally shaped this work. I would also like to thank the dozens of people who agreed to be interviewed, whose ideas and voices animate this text and the sites where they work. I offer this dissertation in hope that it contributes, in some small way, to a bright future for archaeology in Turkey. My committee members have been unstinting in their support of what has proved to be an unconventional project. John Cherry’s able teaching and broad perspective on archaeology formed the matrix in which the ideas for this dissertation grew; Elaine Gazda’s support, guidance, and advocacy of the project was indispensible to its completion. Norman Yoffee provided ideas and support from the first draft of a very different prospectus – including very necessary encouragement to go out on a limb. Chris Ratté has been a generous host at the site of Aphrodisias and helpful commentator during the writing process. -

50 Pueblos Hispanos: Nomenclatura En Textos Antiguos D. Julio Gómez
Historia Digital colabora con la Fundación ARTHIS Pueblos hispanos: nomenclatura en textos antiguos D. Julio Gómez Villar Universidad de Valladolid Resumen Se ha llegado a decir que la documentación aportada por los escritores de la Antigüedad está llena de errores y contradicciones (se ha llegado a decir incluso que no hubo celtas en la península), el trabajo pretende hacer entender que no hubo tantos errores ni contradicciones, el problema reside en el uso del lenguaje, ya que las palabras cambian de significado en función al criterio que se emplee, hay historiadores que están mas preocupados por utilizar un lenguaje ampuloso lleno de ornamentos, olvidando que lo importante es usar un lenguaje lo mas científico posible, para ello hemos de intentar crear un lenguaje científico que use vocablos específicos y dejando la ornamentación en el lenguaje para los poetas. Abstract It has been said that the documentation provided by the writers of antiquity are full of errors and contradictions (it has even been said that there were no Celts in the peninsula), the work pretends to understand that there were not so many mistakes and contradictions, the problem lies in the use of language, since words change in meaning according to the criterion used, there are historians who are more concerned with using a language full of ornaments, forgetting that what is really important is to use a language the most scientific as possible, for this we must try to create a scientific language that uses specific vocables and leaving the ornamentation in the language for the poets.
