The oldest treatments, however—wide-ranging, comprehensive in the wealth of topics and depth of analysis—have certainly not been sup- planted (the mind goes above all to the histories by Ernst Hugo Berger1 and James Oliver Thomson,2 if we choose not to look back to the history written by Albert Forbiger,3 which remains valid in various ways). In planning this volume the editors certainly did not intend to follow mod- els such as those cited; this is an aim they were never tempted to pursue—too ambitious in some respects, but above all far from the vision that inspired their project, linked as it is with an evaluation of the current requirements of stud- ies in the field. From this came the idea of a volume that seeks to privilege some aspects not frequently dealt with in usual treatments, at the expense of a systematic and complete exposition, and which together grant the war- ranted visibility to the methodological profiles of the approach used towards the discipline. It is in this light that the “angle” and the choices that characterize the Companion are to be considered, that is to say the presence of particular topics—such as the onomastics of some regions, the borders of states, the Pythagorism, the sacred itineraries, the sea, the Holy Land, the systems of mea- surement—alongside subjects and themes that have represented well known moments and crucial phases in the history of ancient geographical thought (Eudoxus of Cnidus, Dicaearchus, Eratosthenes, Agatharchides, Hipparchus, Agrippa, Strabo, Pliny and Solinus, Ptolemy, the Tabula Peutingeriana). The need for a historical vision is obviously present throughout the volume, and it assumes its fullest expression where we see the fertile roots of conquests made by ancient man, from the Ionian labour behind Herodotus’s Persians, to Alexander the Great’s “turnaround”, to the exploration of the individual regions (Iberia, Pontus). As editors, it is our desire that the reader might find, in addition to clear and concise information on a wide range of subjects, also satisfactory answers to many questions, as well as new stimulations for reflection. 1 Berger 19032. 2 Thomson 1948. 3 Forbiger 1842–1877. x preface Moreover, we are pleased to express our gratitude to Anne Kolb, who organ- ized a conference in Zurich in September 2013, which proved to be most useful for our work on this Companion.

  • 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.

  • Citations in Classics and Ancient History
    Citations in Classics and Ancient History The most common style in use in the field of Classical Studies is the author-date style, also known as Chicago 2, but MLA is also quite common and perfectly acceptable. Quick guides for each of MLA and Chicago 2 are readily available as PDF downloads. The Chicago Manual of Style Online offers a guide on their web-page: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not, but many educational institutions post an MLA guide for free access. While a specific citation style should be followed carefully, none take into account the specific practices of Classical Studies. They are all (Chicago, MLA and others) perfectly suitable for citing most resources, but should not be followed for citing ancient Greek and Latin primary source material, including primary sources in translation. Citing Primary Sources: Every ancient text has its own unique system for locating content by numbers. For example, Homer's Iliad is divided into 24 Books (what we might now call chapters) and the lines of each Book are numbered from line 1. Herodotus' Histories is divided into nine Books and each of these Books is divided into Chapters and each chapter into line numbers. The purpose of such a system is that the Iliad, or any primary source, can be cited in any language and from any publication and always refer to the same passage. That is why we do not cite Herodotus page 66. Page 66 in what publication, in what edition? Very early in your textbook, Apodexis Historia, a passage from Herodotus is reproduced.

Huffman Excerpt More information part one Introductory essays © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83746-0 - Archytas of Tarentum: Pythagorean, Philosopher and Mathematician King Carl A. Huffman Excerpt More information chapter i Life, writings and reception sources (The original texts and translations of the testimonia for Archytas’ life are found in Part Three, Section One) Archytas did not live the life of a philosophical recluse. He was the leader of one of the most powerful Greek city-states in the first half of the fourth century bc. Unfortunately he is similar to most important Greek intellec- tuals of the fifth and fourth centuries bc, in that we have extremely little reliable information about his activities. This dearth of information is all the more frustrating since we know that Aristoxenus wrote a biography of Archytas, not long after his death (A9). Two themes bulk large in the bits of evidence that do survive from that biography and from other evidence for Archytas’ life. First, there is Archytas’ connection to Plato, which, as we will see, was more controversial in antiquity than in most modern scholarship. The Platonic Seventh Letter, whose authenticity continues to be debated, portrays Archytas as saving Plato from likely death, when Plato was visit- ing the tyrant Dionysius II at Syracuse in 361 bc. Second, for Aristoxenus, Archytas is the paradigm of a successful leader. Elected general (strat¯egos) repeatedly, he was never defeated in battle; as a virtuous, kindly and demo- cratic ruler, he played a significant role in the great prosperity of his native Tarentum, located on the heel of southern Italy.
