Originally called Ionia, it became “Achaia” when the Achaei dispossessed the Ionians who had settled there. The Achaei, one of four main Grecian population distinctions, first resided at and near Argos. Some 80 years after the Trojan war they were driven out by the Heraclidae and retired among the Ionians, whose 12 cities they seized. The confederacy known as the Achaean League (284 b.c. to approximately150 b.c.) resisted the Aetolians for three years. Assisted by Philip II of Macedonia, the Achaeans gained power and freedom, “extended their 3 borders by conquest, and even planted colonies in Magna Graecia,” “till at last they were atacked by the Romans, and, after one year’s hostilities, the Achaean league was totally destroyed, B.C. 147.” (L 4.)

  • Defense and Strategy Among the Upland Peoples of the Classical Greek World 490-362 Bc
    DEFENSE AND STRATEGY AMONG THE UPLAND PEOPLES OF THE CLASSICAL GREEK WORLD 490-362 BC A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by David Andrew Blome May 2015 © 2015 David Andrew Blome DEFENSE AND STRATEGY AMONG THE UPLAND PEOPLES OF THE CLASSICAL GREEK WORLD 490-362 BC David Blome, PhD Cornell University 2015 This dissertation analyzes four defenses of a Greek upland ethnos (“people,” “nation,” “tribe”) against a large-scale invasion from the lowlands ca.490-362 BC. Its central argument is that the upland peoples of Phocis, Aetolia, Acarnania, and Arcadia maintained defensive strategies that enabled wide-scale, sophisticated actions in response to external aggression; however, their collective success did not depend on the existence of a central, federal government. To make this argument, individual chapters draw on the insights of archaeological, topographical, and ethnographic research to reevaluate the one-sided ancient narratives that document the encounters under consideration. The defensive capabilities brought to light in the present study challenge two prevailing paradigms in ancient Greek scholarship beyond the polis (“city-state”). Beyond-the-polis scholarship has convincingly overturned the conventional view of ethnē as atavistic tribal states, emphasizing instead the diversity of social and political organization that developed outside of the Greek polis. But at the same time, this research has emphasized the act of federation as a key turning point in the socio- political development of ethnē, and downplayed the role of collective violence in the shaping of upland polities. In contrast, this dissertation shows that upland Greeks constituted well- organized, efficient, and effective polities that were thoroughly adapted to their respective geopolitical contexts, but without formal institutions.

  • Ancient Macedonians
    Ancient Macedonians This article is about the native inhabitants of the historical kingdom of Macedonia. For the modern ethnic Greek people from Macedonia, Greece, see Macedonians (Greeks). For other uses, see Ancient Macedonian (disambiguation) and Macedonian (disambiguation). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ANCIENT MACEDONIANS ΜΑΚΕΔΌΝΕΣ Stag Hunt Mosaic, 4th century BC Languages. Ancient Macedonian, then Attic Greek, and later Koine Greek Religion. ancient Greek religion The Macedonians (Greek: Μακεδόνες, Makedónes) were an ancient tribe that lived on the alluvial plain around the rivers Haliacmonand lower Axios in the northeastern part of mainland Greece. Essentially an ancient Greek people,[1] they gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world, absorbing or driving out neighbouring non-Greek tribes, primarily Thracian and Illyrian.[2][3] They spoke Ancient Macedonian, a language closely related to Ancient Greek, perhaps a dialect, although the prestige language of the region was at first Attic and then Koine Greek.[4] Their religious beliefs mirrored those of other Greeks, following the main deities of the Greek pantheon, although the Macedonians continued Archaic burial practices that had ceased in other parts of Greece after the 6th century BC. Aside from the monarchy, the core of Macedonian society was its nobility. Similar to the aristocracy of neighboring Thessaly, their wealth was largely built on herding horses and cattle. Although composed of various clans, the kingdom of Macedonia, established around the 8th century BC, is mostly associated with the Argead dynasty and the tribe named after it. The dynasty was allegedly founded by Perdiccas I, descendant of the legendary Temenus of Argos, while the region of Macedon perhaps derived its name from Makedon, a figure of Greek mythology.

Brief Description of the project ii. Expenses to conduct archival research at the Regional State Archives of Aetolia-Acarnania iii. References i. Brief Description of the Project Being among the main tobacco producers at EU level, Greece has long history in tobacco cultivation, with first reports of tobacco production in the Greek territories dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, while the country was under the Ottoman Turkish rule. Since the country obtained independent statehood, tobacco leaf production remained among the main agricultural products. In 1833 Greece produced 331 tons of tobacco leaves; in 1890 exceed 2,250 tons and in 1913 reached the 11,498 tons. Annual production significantly increased in the interwar period with 33,116 tons in 1923, 37,097 in 1930 and 52,424 in 1939 (Dimopoulos: 2012), acting as an important source of revenue for state government. Development of the tobacco leaf production was a result of targeted agricultural policies and also linked to the influx of Greek refugees from the Asia Minor. In particular, during the interwar period Greek-Turkish tensions escalated. Among the issues of the dispute were the territorial acquisitions Greece was rewarded in Smyrna by the Treaty of Sevres.

  • The Terminal Aphonia of Alexander the Great, a Silent Herald of an Ordinary Death
    Original scientific article Acta Med Hist Adriat 2020; 18(2);201-228 Izvorni znanstveni ~lanak https://doi.org/10.31952/amha.18.2.1 THE TERMINAL APHONIA OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT, A SILENT HERALD OF AN ORDINARY DEATH TERMINALNA AFONIJA ALEKSANDRA VELIKOG, TIHOGA GLASNIKA OBIČNE SMRTI Ernesto Damiani*, Martina Elice**, Rita Peca Conti*** Summary Even though the absence of the body prevents sure conclusions, the death of Alexander the Great remains a hot topic of retrospective diagnosis. Due to the serious mishandling of an- cient sources, the scientific literature had Alexander dying of every possible natural cause. In previous works, the hypothesis that typhoid fever killed Alexander was proposed, based on the presence of the remittent fever typical of this disease in the narrations of Plutarch and Arrian. Here we provide additional evidence for the presence of stupor, the second distinctive symptom of typhoid fever. In fact, based on the authority of Caelius Aurelianus and Galen, we demonstrate that the word ἄφωνος, used to describe the last moments of Alexander, is a technical word of the lexicon of the pathology of Hippocrates. Used by him, the word defines a group of diseases sharing a serious depression of consciousness and motility. The association of stupor with the remittent fever strengthens the typhoid fever hypothesis. Keywords: death of Alexander the Great, remittent fever, stupor, aphonia, Caelius Aurelianus, Galen, Hippocrates, typhoid state * Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Medicine, University of Padova, Padova, Italy. ** Department of Historical and Geographic Sciences and the Ancient World, School of Human and Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.

  • Women and Power in the Court of Philip II

Xydopoulos I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. Christiana Chantavaridou January 2020 Thessaloniki - Greece 2 Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History of Macedonia aiming to enlighten the reasons for Philip II’s marital policy and provide information in relation to royal Macedonian women in his court. Philip II was the third out of the three sons of Amyntas III of the Argead dynasty, who ruled the kingdom of Macedonia from the backwater of the Hellenic world. Prior to his reign the kingdom was weak, unstable, possessing an impotent army that could not deal with their many aggressive enemies. His ascendance to the throne, his innovations during his reign and his multiple marriages were crucial for the transformation and expansion of Macedonia. Early in his reign he took five wives, part of his marriage policy to form alliances, aiming also to produce quickly male heirs to the throne.
