In 392/391 BC he was appointed satrap of Caria by the Persian king . He participated in the campaign of the Persians against Cyprus and the king Evagoras I. However, he is considered to have secretly allied with Euagoras, causing problems in his relations with the Persian court. He died in 377/376 BC, leaving his son Mausolus as his heir. Άλλα Ονόματα Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης 5th c.-Caria Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου 377/376 BC Κύρια Ιδιότητα Satrap of Caria 1. Family Hecatomnus was the son of Hyssaldomus or Hyssalomus, whose name is only attested in inscriptions. His wife was probably his sister Ava, following the Carian custom of dynastic endogamy. This custom was later practiced by his children: Mausolus, Artemisia, Idrieus, Ada and Pixodarus, who in succession ruled Caria as satraps after his death.1 2. Activity Hecatomnus is considered to have initially been a dynast of his birthplace Mylasa. In the early 4th c. BC, probably in 392/391 BC, he was appointed as the satrap of the newly-formed by the Persian king Artaxerxes II (405/404-359/358 BC) prefecture of Caria. It should be underlined that the choice of a local satrap was unusual for the Persian Empire. His dominion did not probably include Halicarnassus neither Latmus, whereas the rest of the Greek coastal cities of Caria came under his control after the concluding of the King's Peace (Peace of Antalcidas) in 386 BC.2 According to Diodorus, in 391/390 BC, Hecatomnus was summoned by the Persian king to take part in the campaign of the Persians against Evagoras I (435-374/373 BC), king of Salamis in Cyprus. He was probably in charge of the naval forces. Diodorus, however, mentions no battles, maybe because there were no important clashes between the two opponents. The satrap of Caria might have been recalled around 389/388 BC by Artaxerxes to protect Caria from the attacks made by the Athenians under Thrasybulus to the coasts of Asia Minor.3 In the Suda lexicon a story of anecdotal character is cited, according to which Hecatomnus asked the physician Dexippus from Kos to save his two sons, Mausolus and Pixodarus, who were suffering from a certain disease. Dexippus accepted to cure his sons under the condition that Hecatomnus, “king of Caria”, would stop his attacks against “the Carians”. According to modern scholars, such an event is historically implausible, since this information is not verified by other sources. Furthermore, Dexippus from Kos had no reasons to be interested in any warfare inside Caria. As a consequence, it has been considered that it is a mistake of the author and that the word “Carians”must be corrected as “Coans”. Scholars suppose that, if the aforementioned testimony is correct, the war between Hecatomnus and Kos can be dated around 388/387 BC.4 Diodorus also reveals a secret collaboration between Hecatomnus and Evagoras I, king of Cyprus, during the period Artaxerxes II was preparing a new attack against Cyprus (386/385 BC). More specifically, he reports that Hecatomnus helped Evagoras I financially, in order to maintain his mercenary troops.5 Furthermore, around 380 BC, the Athenian orator Isocrates mentions Δημιουργήθηκε στις 3/10/2021 Σελίδα 1/5 IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Ντόουσον Μαρία - Δήμητρα Μετάφραση : Νάκας Ιωάννης Για παραπομπή : Ντόουσον Μαρία - Δήμητρα , "Hecatomnus", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Κωνσταντινούπολη URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=7892> Hecatomnus with the title “epistathmos of Caria”. He also gives the information that the ruler of Caria was unsatisfied with the Persian Empire and suggests that he planned an apostacy.6 3. Coinage Hecatomnus minted silver and bronze coins according to the Milesian and Rhodian standards, which bore inscriptions with his name. The use of two different standards aimed at the fulfillment of needs and the facilitation of numismatic exchanges in every region of his satrapy, since in western Caria there was a wide use of the coins of Miletus, whereas in the south of the satrapy Rhodian coins were used.7 4. Monuments of Hecatomnus Hecatomnus, eager to show his power as the satrap of Caria, started building monuments in the area of Mylasa which bore his name. More specifically, at Labraunda, the base of a statue with a votive inscription of him was discovered. Moreover, an inscription found at the sanctuary of Sinuri testifies the offering of an altar by the satrap of Caria. Though only these monuments are documented as offerings of Hecatomnus by the inscriptions, scholars assume that Hecatomnus must have participated more actively in the embellishment of these two sanctuaries of Caria in the early 4th century BC.8 Furthermore, he must have kept close relations with Caunus, in south Caria, since it is documented, again from inscriptions, that he was honoured by the city with the erection of a statue.9 5. Death We have no literary sources informing us about the cause and the date of Hecatomnus’death. Taking, though, into consideration the narration of Diodorus, according to which Mausolus, his first son and immediate successor, died in 353/352 BC, after 24 years of ruling Caria, we estimate that Hecatomnus died around 377/376 BC.10 6. Evaluation and judgments A decisive role concerning the evaluation of Hecatomnus is played by his collaboration with Evagoras I, an opponent of the Persian king. This conspiracy of Hecatomnus against the Persian Empire has been questioned by modern research, since he would hardly have any personal gain from such a movement. Meanwhile he remained in power until his death and the regular succession by his son Mausolus, is considered to be proof of the maintenance of good relations between the family of Hecatomnus and the Persian court. It has also been suggested that the whole matter was a trick of Evagoras I, who created such a rumor aiming to the support of the Egyptians against the Persians.11 However, ancient authors very clearly document the plot of Hecatomnus against the Persian king, which could have been dictated from the personal ambitions of the satrap of Caria and his hope to create an independent kingdom. For this reason he favoured the weakening of the Persian Empire and acted secretly towards this end by financially supporting Evagoras I.12 Hecatomnus was the founder of the Hecatomnid dynasty and inaugurated a period of prosperity for Caria. He made his birthplace, Mylasa, the capital and administrative centre of his satrapy.13 He encouraged the diffusion of Greek culture in his dominion, as indicated by the Greek inscriptions and the coins which bore his name. Also, it is considered possible that he financed building programmes for the worship of the sanctuaries at Labraunda and Sinuri, thus starting the tradition of benefactions by his dynasty in important cities and sanctuaries of Caria.14 1.

Based on the common names of the rulers of Kindye in the 5th c. BC and of the satraps of Caria in the 4th c. BC there has been suggested that Pixodarus and Mausolus mentioned by Herodotus can be identified as ancestors of the Hekatomnos dynasty. As for Hyssoldomus, father of Hecatomnus, it is assumed he was the ruler of Mylasa and perhaps the first satrap of Caria, see Crampa, J., Labraunda III.2 (Stockholm 1972), p. 7‑8; SEG 12, p. 128, no. 470. 2.

In the early 4th c. BC an administrative reorganization of Asia Minor was made by Artaxerxes II, after the rejection of the peace proposal by the Spartans and because of the fear of an attack by the formers. Thus, Caria and Ionia, being initially part of the satrapy of Lydia, became separate satrapies. It was then that Hecatomnus became the governor of Caria, with his main care being the protection of the province from the Spartans. The exact date of his rise to power is unknown. Older scholars thought 395 BC was the most probable date, since it coincided with the fall of Tissaphernes. In recent publications, though, the year 392/391 BC has been accepted. Furthermore, there has been suggested that Hecatomnus already held an office in the Persian court, like that of the hyparch with economic and military duties. The appointment of a local Carian, with no Iranian origin, as a satrap was an exception for the conditions of the Persian Empire, whereas Hecatomnus is also mentioned by the ancient sources as the ruler or king of Caria (D.

For the follow- ing four centuries, the Cypriot monarchs were confronted with the power of the Near Eastern empires. This essay focuses on the relations between the Cypriot kings and the Near Eastern Great Kings from the eighth to the fourth century BC. To understand these relations, two theoretical concepts are applied: the centre-periphery model and the concept of suzerainty. From the central perspective of the Assyrian and Persian empires, Cyprus was situated on the western periphery. Therefore, the local governing traditions were respected by the Assyrian and Persian masters, as long as the petty kings fulfi lled their duties by paying tributes and providing military support when requested to do so. The personal relationship between the Cypriot kings and their masters can best be described as one of suzerainty, where the rulers submitted to a superior ruler, but still retained some autonomy. This relationship was far from being stable, which could lead to manifold mis- understandings between centre and periphery. In this essay, the ways in which suzerainty worked are discussed using several examples of the relations between Cypriot kings and their masters. Key words: Assyria, Persia, Cyprus, Cypriot kings. At the end of the fourth century BC, all the Cypriot kingdoms vanished during the wars of Alexander’s successors Ptolemy and Antigonus, who struggled for control of the is- land.

  • Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta
    Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta Stephen Hodkinson University of Manchester 1. Introduction The image of the liberated Spartiate woman, exempt from (at least some of) the social and behavioral controls which circumscribed the lives of her counterparts in other Greek poleis, has excited or horrified the imagination of commentators both ancient and modern.1 This image of liberation has sometimes carried with it the idea that women in Sparta exercised an unaccustomed influence over both domestic and political affairs.2 The source of that influence is ascribed by certain ancient writers, such as Euripides (Andromache 147-53, 211) and Aristotle (Politics 1269b12-1270a34), to female control over significant amounts of property. The male-centered perspectives of ancient writers, along with the well-known phenomenon of the “Spartan mirage” (the compound of distorted reality and sheer imaginative fiction regarding the character of Spartan society which is reflected in our overwhelmingly non-Spartan sources) mean that we must treat ancient images of women with caution. Nevertheless, ancient perceptions of their position as significant holders of property have been affirmed in recent modern studies.3 The issue at the heart of my paper is to what extent female property-holding really did translate into enhanced status and influence. In Sections 2-4 of this paper I shall approach this question from three main angles. What was the status of female possession of property, and what power did women have directly to manage and make use of their property? What impact did actual or potential ownership of property by Spartiate women have upon their status and influence? And what role did female property-ownership and status, as a collective phenomenon, play within the crisis of Spartiate society? First, however, in view of the inter-disciplinary audience of this volume, it is necessary to a give a brief outline of the historical context of my discussion.

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.

  • Argos in Greek Inter-Poleis Relations in the 4Th Century BC
    Journal of Sustainable Development; Vol. 8, No. 7; 2015 ISSN 1913-9063 E-ISSN 1913-9071 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Argos in Greek Inter-Poleis Relations in the 4th Century BC Elena A. Venidiktova1 1 Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia Correspondence: Elena A. Venidiktova, Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, 420008, Kazan, Kremlyovskaya Street, 18, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 15, 2015 Accepted: June 24, 2015 Online Published: June 30, 2015 doi:10.5539/jsd.v8n7p222 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/jsd.v8n7p222 Abstract The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that the 4th century BC for the Greek poleis was the time of regular inter-poleis conflicts in which a special role was played by Argos. Argos is poorly studied in modern historiography; its place in the historically developed system of Greek poleis has not been properly investigated and evaluated. The paper is aimed at examining the course of foreign policy of the polis of Argos in the 4th century BC and indicating its role in the inter-poleis conflicts. The key methodology of the research is made up by a set of methods based on the study of various data on the topic. The paper indicates the position of Argos in inter-poleis conflicts, reveals the facts of its aggressive foreign policy that was oriented to rival Sparta, presents the stages of activity of the Argives in establishing the state. The paper findings may be useful in academic studies while compiling general works on the military history of ancient Greece, or while running special courses devoted to the history of the political development of ancient Greece.

In the swift and fateful debates which preceded the bl,ast from hell-deeps of war, the rights, powers and duties of the small countries loomed largest. Even now the fate of Serbia, of Holland and*Belgium, of Armenia, of Ireland, rouse more passion and debate than the fate of the greater lands drawn into the conflict by the problem of the destiny of the small ones. “Self-determination of all nationalities” was written into the principles of diplomacy by the Russian revolution. This pungent phrase has been enlarged upon by President Wilson in his various speeches and papers, until one would think that the whole war arose out of a desperate determination on the part of all the Great Powers to protect their smaller brethren against all comers.

  • Modeling the Survival of Athenian Owl Tetradrachms Struck in the Period from 561-42 BC from Then to the Present
    Modeling the survival of Athenian owl tetradrachms struck in the period from 561-42 BC from then to the present Harald Ulrik Sverdrup1 Physical Geography and Environmental Systems, Earths Sciences Stockholm University, SE 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected], [email protected], Peter Schlyter Physical Geography and Environmental Systems, Earths Sciences Stockholm University, SE 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden [email protected] Abstract The TETRA-model has been built to predict the modern occurrence of ancient Athenian tetradrachm silver coins in quantitative terms, based on their original minting volumes an antiquity and the processes of their loss and destruction, as well as the process of finding them in modern times. The TETRA model was tested against independent estimates and seems to work well. The approximate number of coins surviving until today for the different types such as archaic owls, classical owls, transitional owls, heterogeneous owls and new style owls were predicted well within the estimates derived through other means and museum inventories (r2=0.82). Key words: Athens, tetradrachms, Laurion, owls, ancient coins, coin production, archaic owls, classical owls, transitional owls, heterogeneous coinage, the symbols series, new style tetradrachms, integrated dynamic modeling, ancient coin survival Introduction Athenian Owls were arguably the most influential of all coins, and the Classical Owl tetradrachm is the most widely recognized ancient coin among the general public today. Owls were the first widely used international currency. They remained thematically unchanged through 500 years, Athena on the obverse, her owl on the reverse, through great changes in the ancient world (Figure 1).

  • The Routledge Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons
    The Routledge Dictionary of Gods and Goddesses, Devils and Demons From classical Greek and Roman mythology to the gods of Eastern Europe and Mesopotamia; from Nordic giants to Islamic jinns and Egyptian monsters, this classic dictionary is packed with descriptions of the figures most worshipped and feared around the world and across time. Fully cross-referenced and with over 100 illustrations, it also features two handy appendices listing the functions and attributes shared by these deities and demons. Covering over 1800 of the most important gods and demons from around the world, this is the essential resource for anyone interested in comparative religion and the mythology of the ancient and contemporary worlds. Manfred Lurker was, from 1968 to 1980, editor of the Bibliography of Symbolism, Iconography and Mythology. He has published widely on symbolism and the history of religion.
