The Gymnasion in the Hellenistic East THE GYMNASION IN THE HELLENISTIC EAST MOTIVES, DIVERGENCES, AND NETWORKS OF CONTACTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Dorothea Stavrou BA (Ioannina), MA (King’s College London) School of Archaeology & Ancient History University of Leicester December 2016 ABSTRACT Dorothea Stavrou, The gymnasion in the hellenistic east: motives, divergences, and networks of contacts. This thesis is a socio-cultural study of the Greek gymnasion in the Hellenistic period: its development, the factors that underpinned its adoption, and the role of native educational practices in that process. Focusing on the Seleukid and Ptolemaic kingdoms, it presents a parallel study of the gymnasion in each. It investigates the motives behind its adoption, the differences between gymnasia, the networks of contacts that were constructed through them, and their impact on the opening up of the institution to non-Greeks. Chapter 1 sets out the research framework and presents the findings of recent scholarship on the gymnasion and on the participation of non-Greeks. It gives an account of the sources, the problems of the evidence, the methodology, and the research questions. Chapter 2 begins with an account of the types of cities and other settlements that fostered the institution of the gymnasion, highlighting how their diversity influenced its diffusion and maintenance. Next the military and cultural roles of the gymnasion are reviewed and conclusions drawn about the variety of educational programmes it offered and its role as a unifying element in elite society. Chapter 3 presents the network of interpersonal relations created in gymnasia. The first section presents rulers’ policy and demonstrates the variable picture of royal benefaction and communities’ reciprocation of royal goodwill. The next examines the internal community of the gymnasion, the roles of gymnasiarchs, and relations between various groups of participants. Chapter 4 examines the participation of non-Greeks and the impact of Greek education upon non-Greek communities. It proposes a new approach to the gymnasion, viewing it as a continuation of pre-existing concepts of education. It views the cultural borrowings and common educational elements among ancient civilizations as laying the foundation for a cultural bridge between Greeks and non-Greeks in the gymnasion. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should like to express my deep gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Prof. Graham Shipley, for his continued and patient guidance. His encouragement and his valuable advice and suggestions throughout my studies contributed to the improvement of my work. His instructive comments prevented me from several mistakes and helped me evaluate my sources better. His constant support enabled me to complete this thesis. I also thank my second supervisor Dr Sarah Scott for her valuable and accurate comments. Besides my supervisors, I should like to thank Dr Ian Whitbread and Dr Jan Haywood for their insightful comments. I should like to thank Prof. N. Kennell for his valuable advice at the beginning of my research, Prof. K. Vlassopoulos who gave me a copy of his work, Dr S. Skaltsa and Dr M. C. D. Paganini who provided me with copies of their theses. I am most grateful for the constant support of my friend Dr S. Skaltsa. Her help was undiminished throughout my studies. I should like to express my appreciation to the Library services of the University of Leicester. I also thank the library staff of the British School at Athens, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and the Scuola Archeologica Italiana di Atene for providing me with essential resources for the completion of this thesis. I could not have done this work without the continuous inspiration of my family and friends. The caring attitude of my children Christianna and Giorgos and the patience and encouragement of my husband Manolis helped me to overcome many obstacles that occurred through my studies and made this thesis possible. For Manolis’s devotion and help all these years, and for his endless love and support, I dedicate my thesis to him. iii CONTENTS Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii List of tables vi List of figures vi List of maps vi List of abbreviations vii Maps xi Chapter 1.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts
    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

The building was demolished after the death of Peisistratos and the construction of a colossal new Temple of Olympian Zeus was begun around 520 BC by his sons, Hippias and Hipparchos. The work was abandoned when the tyranny was overthrown and Hippias was expelled in 510 BC. Only the platform and some elements of the columns had been completed by this point, and the temple remained in this state for 336 years.

ROOSEVELT AND CHRISTINA LUKE 1Department of Archaeology and History of Art, Koç University, I˙stanbul, Turkey 2Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations, Koç University, I˙stanbul, Turkey 3Department of Archaeology, Boston University, USA This article presents previously unknown archaeological evidence of a mid-second-millennium BC kingdom located in central western Anatolia. Discovered during the work of the Central Lydia Archaeological Survey in the Marmara Lake basin of the Gediz Valley in western Turkey, the material evidence appears to correlate well with text-based reconstructions of Late Bronze Age historical geog- raphy drawn from Hittite archives. One site in particular—Kaymakçı—stands out as a regional capital and the results of the systematic archaeological survey allow for an understanding of local settlement patterns, moving beyond traditional correlations between historical geography and capital sites alone. Comparison with contemporary sites in central western Anatolia, furthermore, identifies material com- monalities in site forms that may indicate a regional architectural tradition if not just influence from Hittite hegemony. Keywords: survey archaeology, Anatolia, Bronze Age, historical geography, Hittites, Seha River Land INTRODUCTION correlates of historical territories and king- doms have remained elusive.
