  • How 'Great' Was Alexander?
    Historical Site of Mirhadi Hoseini http://m-hosseini.ir ……………………………………………………………………………………… IRANIAN HISTORY: POST-ACHAEMENIDS How ‘Great’ Was Alexander? By: Professor Ian Worthington1[1] (University of Missouri-Columbia) Why was Alexander II of Macedon called 'Great'? The answer seems relatively straightforward: from an early age he was an achiever, he conquered territories on a superhuman scale, he established an empire until his times unrivalled, and he died young, at the height of his power. Thus, at the youthful age of 20, in 336, he inherited the powerful empire of Macedon, which by then controlled Greece and had already started to make inroads into Asia. In 334 he invaded Persia, and within a decade he had defeated the Persians, subdued Egypt, and pushed on to Iran, Afghanistan and even India. As well as his vast conquests Alexander is credited with the spread of Greek culture and education in his empire, not to mention being responsible for the physical and cultural formation of the Hellenistic kingdoms — some would argue that the Hellenistic world was Alexander's legacy.[2[2]] He has also been viewed as a philosophical idealist, striving to create a unity of mankind by his so-called fusion of the races policy, in which he attempted to integrate Persians and Orientals into his administration and army. Thus, within a dozen years Alexander’s empire stretched from Greece in the west to India in the far east, and he was even worshipped as a god by many of his subjects while still alive. On the basis of his military conquests contemporary

  • Agathocles, Pyrrhus, and Hieron II's Use of Theatre In
    Theatre as Legitimizer: Agathocles, Pyrrhus, and Hieron II’s use of Theatre in Hellenistic Sicily This presentation argues that given the increased ‘theatricality’ of Hellenistic politics, Hellenistic kings in Sicily used theatre – through the staging of drama, the commission and construction of monumental architecture, and through the performance of politics within the space of the theatre – as a means of legitimizing their rule, reinforcing their titles, and emphasising their own self-presentation as Hellenistic kings. By legitimizing, I mean that many Sicilian Hellenistic monarchs had relatively weak claims to rule, with few military victories, few relations to Alexander or the Macedonian royal family, and/or little-to-no grounds for extra- constitutional rule, and thus used the theatre as a means of strengthening what claims they had. Angelos Chaniotis has recently argued that during the Hellenistic period political life took on more and more theatrical traits, a phenomenon he has described as the “theatricality of politics.” (Chaniotis, 1997) If we allow that viewers conceived of politics as a show, I would argue that it follows that the construction of large monumental theatres, which enable rulers to stage and control the narrative, could act as a form of political legitimization for Sicilian generals and rulers with tendentious claims to rule. Alexander – the obvious model for any and all monarchs following his death – famously put on theatrical performances while on campaign, and may have even dabbled in writing theatre himself. This means the staging and facilitating of drama put monarchs in the footsteps of Alexander, the Hellenistic king par excellence. The construction of many of these monumental stone theatres appears to date to a rather tumultuous time in Sicily’s history.

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

  • POWER, but NOT GLORY the Example of Agathocles of Syracuse in Machiavelli’S Prince
    POWER, BUT NOT GLORY The example of Agathocles of Syracuse in Machiavelli’s Prince By Jonathan Mulki Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts. Supervisor: Zoltan Miklosi Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2017 Abstract In The Prince’s chapter 8, Niccolò Machiavelli introduces the case of Agathocles of Syracuse, an ancient ruler who succeeded in acquiring and maintaining power. However, Machiavelli refuses to praise his deeds and condemns him. This constitutes one of the most striking enigmas in Machiavelli’s work. The present thesis conducts an interpretative reading on the ambiguous case of Agathocles, supported by the approaches of contemporary commentators who give simultaneous attention to the content of Machiavelli’s thought and the specific literary form in which they are introduced. The result of the research proves that Machiavelli intentionally draws an ironic and contradictory explanation around Agathocles, with the purpose of building a novel meeting point between instrumental and moral teachings, which, at the same time, are mirrored in two types of virtù. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments My sincere thanks to my supervisor, Professor Zoltan Miklosi, who provided me with support and fruitful advice, for the thesis in particular, and for the broader understanding of politics and morality in general. In addition, I would like to thank Professor Matthias Rield from the Department of History, who wisely suggested me to read Belfagor and Life of Castruccio Castracani, two literary writings from Machiavelli that I decided not to include in the present thesis, yet they have changed my understanding on the author.

  • From Naevius to Accius)
    Tyrants and Kings in the Latin Theatre (from Naevius to Accius) Federico Russo DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7358/erga-2017-001-russ ABSTRACT: This paper aims at showing the importance of early Latin theatre with respect to the Roman view of forms of monocratic power such as monarchy and tyranny. While Plautus provides us with fundamentally neutral or positive examples of tyrants and kings, other playwrights of the third and second centuries BC such as Naevius, Terentius, Pacu- vius and Accius propose a multifaceted image of these figures, indicating the ambivalent position of kings and tyrants in the Roman collective imagination of that period. KEYWORDS: Accius, Ennius, Latin theatre, monarchy, Naevius, Plautus, Q. Fabius Maxi- mus, second punic war, Terentius, tyranny – Accio, Ennio, monarchia, Nevio, Plauto, Q. Fabio Massimo, seconda guerra punica, teatro latino, Terenzio. 1. – The concept of regnum was particularly unpopular among the Romans. According to most ancient sources, the kingship of Tarquinius Superbus was so traumatic that from that moment onwards the Romans developed a strong and steadfast hatred for any kind of monocratic power that could remind them of Tarquinius Superbus’ tyranny 1. In reconstructing this particular aspect of Roman imagination, as a rule modern scholars rely upon late republican sources, with only a few references to historiographi- cal traditions datable to the second century BC. Accordingly, the evidence of the theatre – and most of all of early Latin playwrights – has remained unexplored, although it might significantly contribute to a better under- standing of the Romans’ attitude towards the idea of regnum 2.
