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. -

This Is the Social and Religious Background Against Which The
BOOK REVIEWS 183 This is the social and religious background against which the accusation of ‘ac knowledging new deities’, brought against Socrates in 399 B.C., makes its appear ance. As Ρ. has shown, this accusation as such cannot be regarded as sufficient justifi cation for the trial. In spite of the general negative attitude on the part of the state, individuals did in practice ‘introduce new gods’ with some freedom, and by no means every case of such unauthorized religious innovation was prosecuted by the state. Socrates’ prosecution for kainotheism was in fact ‘only a counterpoise to that other and much more damning one of “not acknowledging the gods the city believes in.” And it was as a priestess in what we have called an “elective” cult, a “leader of lawless revel-bands of men and women”, that Phryne was attacked’ (pp. 216-17). That is to say, it was above all what was grasped by the Athenians as the antisocial character of the religious activities of Socrates and Phryne rather than the issue of ‘theological orthodoxy’ as such that brought both to trial. To be sure, the phenomenon which Ρ. calls ‘the totalitarian side of the classical city and its religion’ (p. 50) (‘communitarian’ seems to be a better term) was not a fifth-century Athenian invention. It can be discerned already in the legislative activi ties of Solon, and it was far from unfamiliar to other city-states of Archaic and Classi cal Greece. Yet, as Ρ. himself puts it, ‘The great attraction of studying the religion of classical Athens is not so much that it is either Athenian or classical a? that it can indeed be studied, in some detail’ (p. -

Hippocrates' Memories of Scythia: Stories And
Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Bra şov • Vol. 6 (51) - 2009 Series 6: Medical Sciences Supplement – Proceeding of The IV th Balkan Congress of History of Medicine HIPPOCRATES’ MEMORIES OF SCYTHIA: STORIES AND FAIRYTALES 1 Α. DIAMANDOPOULOS Abstract: This presentation will deal with Hippocrates’ journey to Scythia and with medical and general observations on that country and its people. The bulk of this information is derived from his work “On airs, waters and places” which is generally regarded as authentic. It is a comprehensive study of ethno-geography, correlating the medical problems of residents with climate changes, the political situation and the psychological aspects of their personality. We thought that an interesting way to present this would be in the form of a story, both because the country itself was considered legendary, and because its people - men and women – that invaded Greek myths and the descriptions by Greek authors were reminiscent of fairytales. We thus see that Scythia, a faraway country, unknown and charming, had, long before Hippocrates’ visit, penetrated Greek thought through mythology, religion, commerce and art and the descriptions of contemporary travellers, like Herodotus. It should be noted here that certain historians are unconvinced that he travelled to Scythia and believe, instead, that he describes the impressions of another. His work, however, “On airs, waters and places”, is believed to be authentic. It begins with a description of this nation, writing that “What is called the Scythian desert is prairies, rich in meadows, high-lying, and well watered; for the rivers which carry off the water from the plains are large. -

LOS MEDIOS DE TRANSMISIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN LA EPIGRAFÍA, DE CIENCIA AUXILIAR A CIENCIA HISTÓRICA La Epigrafía, de ciencia auxiliar a ciencia histórica 11 LOS MEDIOS DE TRANSMISIÓN DE INFORMACIÓN MANUEL RAMÍREZ SÁNCHEZ Resumen: La Epigrafía es una ciencia historiográfica indispensable en la formación de los historiadores que, desde hace siglos, forma parte de las mal denominadas “ciencias auxilia- res” de la Historia. En este trabajo se analiza el concepto de Epigrafía, el método epigráfico y el recorrido historiográfico que esta ciencia ha desarrollado a lo largo de la Historia, con el fin de aproximar al lector a los rudimentos de esta ciencia historiográfica, con especial refe- rencia a la labor investigadora que se ha desarrollado en España. El estudio finaliza con un acercamiento a la situación actual de la Epigrafía, no solo en la formación universitaria de las futuras generaciones de historiadores, sino en el análisis de las líneas de investigación y proyectos más importantes que están en curso en la actualidad. Palabras clave: Epigrafía, inscripciones, concepto, método, historiografía. Abstract: Epigraphy is an indispensable science in shaping historiography of historians for centuries, is part of the so-called "auxiliary sciences" of history. In this paper we explore the concept of Epigraphy, the epigraphic method and the historiographical development, to bring the rudiments of this science historiography, with special reference to the work research that has developed in Spain. The study concludes with an approach to the current state of Epigraphy, not only in university education of future generations of historians, but on the analysis of the research and major projects under way today. -
The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros
The Antikythera Mechanism, Rhodes, and Epeiros Paul Iversen Introduction I am particularly honored to be asked to contribute to this Festschrift in honor of James Evans. For the last nine years I have been engaged in studying the Games Dial and the calendar on the Metonic Spiral of the Antikythera Mechanism,1 and in that time I have come to admire James’s willingness to look at all sides of the evidence, and the way in which he conducts his research in an atmosphere of collaborative and curious inquiry combined with mutual respect. It has long been suggested that the Antikythera Mechanism may have been built on the is- land of Rhodes,2 one of the few locations attested in ancient literary sources associated with the production of such celestial devices. This paper will strengthen the thesis of a Rhodian origin for the Mechanism by demonstrating that the as-of-2008-undeciphered set of games in Year 4 on the Games Dial were the Halieia of Rhodes, a relatively minor set of games that were, appro- priately for the Mechanism, in honor of the sun-god, Helios (spelled Halios by the Doric Greeks). This paper will also summarize an argument that the calendar on the Metonic Spiral cannot be that of Syracuse, and that it is, contrary to the assertions of a prominent scholar in Epirote stud- ies, consistent with the Epirote calendar. This, coupled with the appearance of the extremely minor Naan games on the Games Dial, suggests that the Mechanism also had some connection with Epeiros. The Games Dial and the Halieia of Rhodes The application in the fall of 2005 of micro-focus X-ray computed tomography on the 82 surviv- ing fragments of the Antikythera Mechanism led to the exciting discovery and subsequent publi- cation in 2008 of a dial on the Antikythera Mechanism listing various athletic games now known as the Olympiad Dial (but which I will call the Games or Halieiad Dial—more on that below), as well as a hitherto unknown Greek civil calendar on what is now called the Metonic Spiral.3 I begin with my own composite drawing of the Games Dial (Fig. -

CLAS 600 Resources for Research in Greek History and Ancillary Disciplines A comment on early Greek history: “[T]he scantiness of evidence sets a special challenge to the disciplined mind. It is a game with very few pieces, where the skill of the player lies in complicating the rules. The isolated and uneloquent fact must be exhibited within a tissue of hypothesis subtle enough to make it speak….” - Iris Murdoch, The Nice and the Good, Viking Press NY 1968: 176. Literary Sources: The Ancient Texts Selection of Greek (and Roman) Historians Following is a list of the most important historians for the study of Greek history. The list is by no means complete; in general it represents authors whose works survive in whole or in large part, and who are our chief source of evidence for significant periods of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic history. Herodotos (Halikarnassos). Chief literary source for history of the 6th and early 5th centuries BCE, in particular the Persian Wars; also a significant source of connected narrative of the development of the Persian Empire. Thucydides (Athens). Unfinished. Chief literary source for history of 5th century BCE, from the period immediately after the Persian Wars until 411; specific focus the conflict between Athens and Sparta and their respective spheres of influence (the Peloponnesian War, 431-404 BCE). Xenophon (Athens). Various works, including treatises on hunting and economics, Socratic dialogues, and a largely fictional biography of Cyrus, the first king of Persia. Among his most significant historical writings are the Hellenica, a continuation of Thucydides (Greek history from 411 to 362 BCE), and the Anabasis, an account of a military expedition into the Persian interior at the end of the 5th century, an expedition in which Xenophon himself participated. -

NOTICES OF BOOKS 175 Gilioia. By FRANZ X. SCHAFFER. [141st Ergiinzungsheft zu Petermanns Mitteilungen.] Pp. 110. 2 maps, 5 figures. Gotha : Perthes, 1903. 12 m. Dr. Schaffer's exploration of Cilicia during the years 1900 and 1901 was made mainly in the interests of the natural sciences, especially geology. But he did not neglect archaeo- logy altogether, and contributed a paper to the Jahreshefte of the Vienna Arch. Inst. on the route taken by Cyrus' general Menon across Taurus. The substance of this he now includes in his general account of the whole region, and notices briefly other questions of ancient history and topography, e.g. the situation of Mallus and Mopsukrene ; the former navigability of the Cydnus ; and the passes across Taurus. He describes with some fulness the ruins of Tarsus, Anazarba, Elaeousa-Sebaste and Olba, and mentions in passing many minor monuments of the Greek, Roman, and Lesser Armenian periods. Orientis Graeci Inscriptiones Selectae. Supplementum Sylloges Inscriptionum Graecarum edidit WILHELMUS DITTENBERGER. Vol. I. Pp. viii.+658. Leipzig: Hirzel, 1903. 18 m. In the Preface to thesecond edition of the indispensable Sylloge, the author promised a supplement containing a selection of Greek inscriptions of the East. The first volume of this Supplement now appears, two years only after the completion of the Sylloge. The book is arranged on the same plan ; the inscriptions themselves are not provided with descriptive titles, but reference is facilitated by headlines giving somewhat more detailed information. It is hardly necessary to speak of the high quality of the work, or to point out how convenient to the historian is the inclusion in one volume of new critical editions of monuments like the Canopus Decree, the Eosetta Stone, the Adule inscription, the Ilian law concerning tyrants, the Smyrna-Magnesia treaty, the dispute between Mytilene and Pitane, the Nemrud-Dagh inscriptions.
