  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • Middle Helladic (Central) Euboea and Its Cultural Connections: the State of Research
    Middle Helladic (central) Euboea and its cultural connections: The state of research Tobias KRAPF Περίληψη Η Εύβοια κατείχε καίρια γεωγραφική θέση κατά τη Μεσοελλαδική περίοδο και η στρωματογραφία της θέσης Λευκαντί έχει χρησιμεύσει ως σημείο αναφοράς για τη μελέτη άλλων περιοχών. Η ανακάλυψη 42 αρχαιολογικών θέσεων πιστοποιεί το πλούσιο παρελθόν της Εύβοιας κατά τη Μεσοελλαδική πε- ρίοδο. Περισσότερες από δώδεκα από αυτές τις θέσεις έχουν ανασκαφεί, ως επί το πλείστον σε μικρή κλίμακα, ωστόσο η περίοδος παραμένει ανεπαρκώς μελετημένη συγκριτικά με άλλες περιοχές της κεντρικής Ελλάδας. Το παρόν άρθρο συνοψίζει την ιστορία της μεσοελλαδικής Εύβοιας, αναθεωρεί τις μέχρι τώρα γνώσεις και επιπλέον έχει σκοπό να διερευνήσει τη θέση της Εύβοιας μέσα στον μεσο- ελλαδικό κόσμο. Introduction With the British excavations at Lefkandi (1964-1966) and the publication of Dickinson’s The Ori- gins of the Mycenaean Civilisation in 1977, Euboea suddenly became a region of major interest for the study of the Middle Bronze Age (MBA), and the stratigraphy of Xeropolis emerged as an important ref- erence point. Until that time, the MBA of the second largest Aegean island was almost unknown. Sack- ett et al. stated in 1966 in the introduction to their survey, that ‘the gaps in our knowledge of Bronze Age Euboea are so serious as to amount in some areas to a total blank’.1 Nowadays, Euboea has lost again its focal position in research, as the site of Lefkandi has actually still not been published in detail and the glory has passed by Euboea and gone to other regions, such as the Argolid, Boeotia and—espe- cially—the opposite shore of the Euboean Gulf: Pevkakia, Mitrou and the Malian Gulf.

  • Confronting Hegemony in Mycenaean Central Greece
    3 Confronting Hegemony in Mycenaean Central Greece Iron that’s forged the hardest Snaps the quickest. —Seamus Heaney, The Burial at Thebes: A Version of Sophokles’ Antigone The central Greek mainland looms large in the cultural imagination of ancient Greece—in some ways more so than the regions sporting the better-known pala- tial sites of Mycenae, Tiryns, or Pylos. Only Mycenae rivals the mythological sig- nificance of Thebes, which appears to have been the preeminent palatial authority in central Greece. A second locus of Boeotian palatial power was at Orchome- nos, and a third at Gla. The settlement history of Late Bronze Age Boeotia as a whole is demonstrably tied to these central places. To the north and south, Thes- saly and Attica also appear to have been home to Mycenaean palaces, yet these continue to raise more questions than answers in terms of political organization, territorial scope, and even the basic composition of their archaeological remains. Of one thing we can be relatively sure, however: that these are not our canoni- cal Mycenaean palaces, at least as understood from the type sites of the Argolid and Messenia. Nevertheless, these places appear to have been the foremost centers in the Bronze Age political landscape, and they certainly featured in later Greek imaginings of the past. Mythological resonances aside, it also seems that a good portion of central Greece had very little to do with any palace or palatial authority, which suggests that a range of sociopolitical formations were present (an observa- tion that may be equally valid for the Peloponnese).
