  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • Political Parthenoi: the Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece
    Political Parthenoi: The Social and Political Significance of Female Performance in Archaic Greece Submitted by James William Smith to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classics, February 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. i Abstract This thesis will explore how social and political conditions in archaic Greece affected the composition of poetry for female choral performance. My primary source material will be the poetry of Alcman and Sappho. I examine the evidence suggesting that poems by both Alcman and Sappho commented on political issues, using this as a basis to argue that women in archaic Greece may have had a more vocal public presence that has previously been imagined. Rather than viewing female performance as a means of discussing purely feminine themes or reinforcing the idea of a disempowered female gender, I argue that the poetry of Alman and Sappho gives parthenoi an authoritative public voice to comment on issues in front of the watching community. Part of this authority is derived from the social value of parthenoi, who can act as economically and socially valuable points of exchange between communities, but I shall also be looking at how traditional elements of female performance genre were used to enhance female authority in archaic Sparta and Lesbos.

Lunt © 2010 David J. Lunt Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of David J. Lunt was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark Munn Professor of Ancient Greek History and Greek Archaeology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Paul B. Harvey Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, History, Religious Studies, and Jewish Studies Stephen Wheeler Associate Professor of Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies Mark Dyreson Associate Professor of Kinesiology Carol Reardon Director of Graduate Studies in History Professor of Military History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Victory in an athletic contest in ancient Greece, especially in a prestigious panhellenic festival, brought great status and acclaim to the athlete. Moreover, extraordinary victories by exceptional athletes brought superhuman status, a condition comparable to that of the mythic heroes. Ancient Greek myth emphasized the athletic nature of many heroic figures, imparting to them excellence in contests as well as achievements in battle or other endeavors. This athletic component of a hero’s identity allowed for ready comparisons between the accomplishments of the ancient heroes and the achievements of historical athletes. Consequently, a few extremely successful athletes during Greece’s Archaic and Classical periods received posthumous heroic cults. The accoutrements of victory, such as the victory crown, the epinician ode, and the victory statue likened the victor to the immortal heroes.

Appendix: Hunting – Spartan-style Notes Further Reading Select Bibliography Picture Credits Index ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Who were the ancient Spartans, and why should we care? The events of 11 September 2001 jolted many of us into rethinking what was distinctive and distinctively admirable – or at least defensible – about Western civilization, values and culture. Some of us were provoked into wondering aloud whether any definition of that civilization and its cultural values would justify our dying for them, or even maybe killing for them. Those of us who are historians of ancient Greece wondered this with especial intensity, since the world of ancient Greece is one of the principal tap roots of Western civilization. As J. S. Mill put it, the battle of Marathon, fought in 490 BC between the Athenians, with support from the Plataeans and the invading Persians, was much more important than the Battle of Hastings, even as an event in English history. So too, arguably, as we shall see, was the battle of Thermopylae of ten years later.

  • Herodotus: Historian, Proto-Feminist, and Proto-Biographer
    Herodotus: Historian, Proto-Feminist, and Proto-Biographer by Oliver R. Baker Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Humanities Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Oliver R. Baker 2018 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2018 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Oliver Baker Degree: Master of Arts Title: Herodotus: Historian, Proto-Feminist, and Proto-Biographer Examining Committee: Chair: Paul Dutton Professor, Graduate Program Chair David Cyrus Mirhady Senior Supervisor Professor Eirini DIonysia Kotsovili Supervisor Lecturer Dimitris Krallis Internal Examiner Associate Professor Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies Date Defended/Approved: August 29th, 2018 ii Abstract Claims that Herodotus reveals himself as a proto-biographer are not yet widely accepted. To advance this claim, I have selected three women and four men from one side or the other of the Helleno-Persian Wars whose activities are recounted in his Histories. It is to a near contemporary, Heraclitus, to whom we attribute the maxim—character is human destiny. It is the truth of his maxim—which implies effective human agency—that makes Herodotus’ creation of historical narrative possible. Herodotus is often read for his off-topic vignettes, which colour-in the character of the individuals depicted without necessarily advancing his narrative.

  • The Aeschylean Chorus
    The Aeschylean Chorus Anastasia Lazani A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Greek and Latin, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University College London January 2019 1 Declaration I, Anastasia Lazani, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The chorus lies at the heart of the tragic genre for the Greeks. Yet modern scholars, audiences and theatre professionals have struggled to relate to this element of the tragic performance, which lacks a direct equivalent in modern Western theatre. Furthermore, the dramatic chorus (tragic or comic) is unique among Greek choral groups, as it combines a fictive identity inside the world of the play with the ritual identity of a chorus performing at a religious, civic festival. It thus occupies a space that is enriched by both strands of its existence: the fictionality of its persona, which is fully integrated into the tragic plot, and the rich tradition and connotations of Greek chorality. This thesis offers a new reading of the chorus across the Aeschylean corpus, organised around the fictive identity of the chorus members. Chapter 1 draws on the stark gender divide that characterises Greek life and the way this is translated into female tragic choruses, while the chapter also examines the rich non-dramatic choral tradition that underpins female tragic choruses. Chapter 2 analyses Aeschylus’ take on the ‘barbarian’ in an era where issues of identity are particularly relevant due to the Persian wars and the emerging supremacy of the Athenians.
