Colonization of Samothrace . HESPERIA 7I (2002) TH E COLON IZATION OF Pages23I-260 SAMOTH RACE ABSTRACT Three aspectspertaining to the Greekcolonization of Samothraceare ad- dressed:the originof the colonists,the foundationdate, and relationsbe- tweenGreeks and non-Greeks.Relevant literary sources and other indica- tions makeit clearthat the Greekcolonists came from Samos; the current theorythat they were Aeolians should be abandoned.No foundationdate is preservedin the ancientsources, but archaeological remains, especially from cemeterieson theisland, point stronglyto the first halfofthe 6th centuryB.C. Evidencefor a Greektakeover of a non-Greekcult, and,especially, for the useof a non-Greeklanguageaswell as Greek, makes the coexistence of Greeks andnon-Greeks a plausiblehypothesis. Althoughthere are many Greek colonies of theArchaic period about which we knowvery little, we usuallyknow the city or citiesfrom which the colonistscame, and in manycases the dateof foundation.In the caseof Samothrace,1the prestige of the Sanctuaryof theGreat Gods has ensured thatthere are many references to Samothracein ancientliterature. Lewis found241 itemsfor his collectionof the literarysources in Samothrace1, andBurkert found two othersthat had been missed by Lewis.2Yet, in spiteof this abundanceof literaryreferences, the originof the colonists anddate of the foundationare matters of disputeor, as Lazaridisput it, obscure.3Cole considered these issues an openquestion.4 It is my aimin thisarticle to discuss,first, these two basic questions, and then to consider therelations between the colonists and the non-Greek inhabitants, which areat Samothraceboth interesting and potentially significant. 1.

GRAHAM THE ORIGIN OF THE COLONISTS THE LITERARY EVIDENCE Mostof ourinformation about Samothrace from the literary sources con- cernsmyth, so thereare few passagesthat are valuable for the historyof theGreek colonization.5 Of thesethe earliest is a fragmentof Antiphon's speechOn theTribute of theSamothracians, which states that the colonists camefrom Samos, whence they were expelled by tyrants. The filllpassage (MinorA2ic OratorsI, Loeb,fr. A.2; Lewis40 [asthroughout, numbers referto Lewis'spassages in Samothrace1]) is asfollows: zat yap ot TNV apXNv oLMCoavT£g Nsav Latot, £g XV F£tt £y£VO£0a.

They were settled by necessity,not by desire of the island;for they were expelled from Samos by tyrantsand experiencedthis misfortune; having taken booty from Thrace they arrivedat the island.(Lewis, trans., adapted) Thisis a clearstatement of origin.While Athenian orators freely per- vertedhistorical truth if it suitedtheir advocacy, they could not make false statementsabout well-known facts in speechesdesigned to be heardby a S.The relevantpassages are given largeaudience,7 if theywere not to loseall credibility. In thiscase, it is hard in FGrHist 548 (Anhang),with to doubtAntiphon's information about the originof the colonists. characteristicallyacute and learned Antiphon'sstatements are, moreover, supported by the Aristotelian commentsbyJacoby in IIIb (Text), politeiaof the Samothracians,which we knowfrom Herakleides' epitome pp.47(}475 (Noten),pp. 279-281. (FGrHist548F5b; Lewis 41) and, less fillly, from the scholion to Apollonius Thereis an extendeddiscussion of thesepassages in Prinz1978, pp. 187- Rhodius,916-918 (FGrHist546 Flb; Lewis37).

J. GRAHAM It happenedalso amid this disorder that certain Phoenicians whose shipshad been destroyed came to the kingand accused the Ionians of treason,saying that it wasby theirdoing that the shipshad been lost;the endof whichmatter was, that the Ioniancaptains were not putto death,and those Phoenicians who accusedthem were re- wardedas I willshow. While they yet spokeas aforesaid,a Samo- thracianship charged an Attic; and while the Attic ship was sinking, a shipof Aeginabore down and sank the Samothracian;but the Samothracians,being javelin throwers, swept the fightingmen with a showerof javelinsoff fromthe shipthat had sunk theirs, and boardedand seized her themselves. Thereby the Ionianswere saved; forwhen Xerxes saw this great feat of theirarms, he turnedon the Phoenicians(being moved to blameall in thebitterness of his heart) andcommanded that their heads be cutoff, that so theymight not accusebetter men, being themselves cowards. (A. D. Godley,trans., Loeb) Fromthis it is clearthat for Herodotos the Samothracians were Ionians.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • The Gattilusj of Lesbos (1355—1462). «Me Clara Caesar Donat Leebo Ac Mytilene, Caesar, Qui Graio Praesidet Iraperio'
    The Gattilusj of Lesbos (1355—1462). «Me clara Caesar donat Leebo ac Mytilene, Caesar, qui Graio praesidet iraperio'. Corsi apud Folieta The Genoese occupation of Chios, Lesbos, and Phokaia by the families of Zaccaria and Cattaneo was not forgotten in the counting- houses of the Ligurian Republic. In 1346, two years after the capture of Smyrna, Chios once more passed under Genoese control, the two Foglie followed suite, and in 1355 the strife between John Cantacuzene and John V Palaiologos for the throne of Byzantium enabled a daring Genoese, Francesco Gattilusio, to found a dynasty in Lesbos, which gradually extended its branches to the islands of the Thracian sea and to the city of Ainos on the opposite mainland, and which lasted in the original seat for more than a Century. Disappointed in a previous attempt to recover his rights, the young Emperor John V was at this time living in retirement on the island of Tenedos, then a portion of the Greek Empire and from its position at the mouth of the Dardanelles both an excellent post of obserration and a good base for a descent upon Constantinople. During his so- journ there, a couple of Genoese galleys arrived, commanded by Fran- cesco Gattilusio, a wealthy freebooter, who had sailed from his native oity to onrvp rmt for himself, annidst the confusion of the Orient, a petty principality in the Thracian Chersonese, äs others of his compa- triots had twice done in Chios, äs the Venetian nobles had done in the Archipelago 150 years earlier. The Emperor found in this chance visi- tor an Instrument to effect his own restoration; the two men came to terms, and John V promised, that if Gattilusio would help him to recover his throne, he would bestow upon him the hand of his sister Maria — an honour similar to that conferred by Michael VIII upon Benedetto Zaccaria.

In March 2004 the New Democracy Party won the majority of seats in the unicameral Vouli (parliament) in free and fair elections, and Konstantinos Karamanlis became the prime minister. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in several areas. The following human rights abuses were reported: abuse by security forces, particularly of illegal immigrants and Roma; overcrowding and harsh conditions in some prisons; detention of undocumented migrants in squalid conditions; limits on the ability of ethnic minorities to self-identify; restrictions on freedom of speech; restrictions and administrative obstacles faced by members of non-Orthodox religions; detention and deportation of unaccompanied or separated immigrant minors, including asylum seekers; domestic violence against women; trafficking in persons; discrimination against ethnic minorities and Roma; substandard living conditions for Roma; inadequate access to schools for Romani children; and child exploitation in nontraditional labor. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were no reports that the government or its agents committed any politically motivated killings; however, in September there were reports that coast guard authorities threw detained illegal migrants overboard and six of them drowned.

    HESPERIA JJ (2OO8) THE LINGUISTIC Pages43I~4^4 CASE FOR THE AIOLIAN MIGRATION RECONSIDERED ABSTRACT Ascribingthe presence of speakers of Lesbian in thenortheast Aegean dur- inghistorical times to themigration of Aiolian tribes from mainland Greece receivesno supportfrom linguistics. Migration is notthe only or even primary wayin whichlanguages and dialectsmay spread. Moreover, on reexamina- tion,the idea of an Aiolicdialect group falls apart. Boiotian, separated by the FirstCompensatory Lengthening from Lesbian and Thessalian, appears as a conservativedialect, most closely related to WestGreek. In turn,Lesbian andThessalian are both archaic branches of Greek that share no demonstrable commoninnovations. They are bestviewed as twoseparate relic areas of a relativelyunaltered early Greek. - To pass fromthis legendary world an aggregateof streamsdis- tinctand heterogeneous,which do notwillingly come intoconflu- ence,and cannotbe forcedto intermix- intothe vision afforded by Herodotus,we learnfrom him that in the500s B.C.the whole coast-regionfrom Dardanus southward to thepromontory of Lektum(including the town of Ilium),and fromLektum eastward to Adramyttium,had been Aeolised,or was occupiedby Aeolic - Greeks likewisethe inland towns of Skepsisand Kebren.1 This papergrew out of the researchof BrianRose, as set out in the pre- cedingarticle in thisissue of Hesperia?As head of the post-BronzeAge excavationsat Troy,Rose had long acceptedthe scholarlyconsensus in 1.
