  • Three Aspects of Spartan Kingship in Herodotus Rosaria Vignolo Munson
    5 Three Aspects of Spartan Kingship in Herodotus Rosaria Vignolo Munson erodotus’ Histories are governed by the rule of resemblance: they explain the nature of a given historical phenomenon by sug­ gesting similarities to unrelated phenomena entirely different in Hother respects.! We may safely state, in particular, that Herodotus’ analysis of any form of personal power is inseparable from his representation of monarchical rule. This was an essential feature of the foreign culture that threatened the integrity of Hellas at the time of the Persian wars, and it provided the Greeks with a foil for self-definition. The components of the monarchical model in Herodotus have often been discussed,^ and I need only to recall a few points. The speech of Otanes in the Constitutional Debate is the basic theoretical document (3.80). The monarch is here defined as an individual who “can do what he wants without being accountable” (dvevOvvco Trottem ra /SouXerat). When placed in such a position, even the best of men finds himself outside the normal way of thinking (/cat yap av tov aptcTOV avhputv TravTwv (TTavTU e? TavTTjv TTjv apy^v e/cxd? twv ewOoToiv voripdraiv cTTpcreid) and commits many unbearable things (iroWd /cal dracrOaka) out of u/3pts and cpOovos. Typically, the monarch subverts ancestral laws (Ttarpta vopaia), he does violence to women, and he puts people to death without trial. I am happy to dedicate this chapter to Martin Ostwald with gratitude and admiration. 1. The importance of analogical thought in Herodotus is widely recognized. See espe­ cially the work of Immerwahr (1966) and Lateiner (1989, 191-96).

By Sir ISAAC NEWTON. LONDON: Printed for J. TONSON in the Strand, and J. OSBORN and T. LONGMAN in Pater-noster Row. MDCCXXVIII. TO THE QUEEN. MADAM, As I could never hope to write any thing my self, worthy to be laid before YOUR MAJESTY; I think it a very great happiness, that it should be my lot to usher into the world, under Your Sacred Name, the last work of as great a Genius as any Age ever produced: an Offering of such value in its self, as to be in no danger of suffering from the meanness of the hand that presents it. The impartial and universal encouragement which YOUR MAJESTY has always given to Arts and Sciences, entitles You to the best returns the learned world is able to make: And the many extraordinary Honours YOUR MAJESTY vouchsafed the Author of the following sheets, give You a just right to his Productions. These, above the rest, lay the most particular claim to Your Royal Protection; For the Chronology had never appeared in its present Form without YOUR MAJESTY's Influence; and the Short Chronicle, which precedes it, is entirely owing to the Commands with which You were pleased to honour him, out of your singular Care for the education of the Royal Issue, and earnest desire to form their minds betimes, and lead them early into the knowledge of Truth.

  • Colonization of Cyrene: a Historiographic Perspective
    Colonization of Cyrene: A Historiographic Perspective By Robert Richards HST 499 Senior Thesis Professor Kimberly Jensen April 30, 2011 1 The colonization of Cyrene during the seventh century BC is among the extensively documented instances of colonization by ancient Greeks. Both Herodotus of Halicarnassus and Pindar of Thebes wrote of the personalities and events surrounding Cyrene‟s foundation. The inscription SEG ix 3 located on the marble „Stele di Fonditori‟ found at Cyrene describes various aspects of the colonization as well.1 Each of the three sources varies in the amount of detail it provides and the details included in each account, while similar in many respects, differ significantly. This paper seeks to examine and compare these sources with a view to determining their accuracy as far as possible within the parameters of this study. Necessarily, this exercise probes Delphi‟s role as the conveyor of Apollo‟s directive that Cyrene be colonized as it seems crucial for examining the city‟s post-foundation legacy. The information concerning Cyrene‟s legacy, Delphi‟s central role, and the colonization stories will be integrated to explain how the differences encountered in the three texts mentioned above signal a manipulation of Cyrene‟s colonization narrative over time. Pindar, an ancient Greek poet of great renown, refers to prophetic origins of Cyrene‟s colonization several times in the victory Odes, Pythian 4 and Pythian 5.2 The Odes provide little more information about the colonization than that a man named Battus traveled from the island of Thera to Apollo‟s oracle at Delphi seeking a cure for his speech impediment and was told by the priestess to colonize Cyrene in Libya.

  • Pindar's Pythian 4
    Histos Supplement ( ) – PINDAR’S PYTHIAN : INTERPRETING HISTORY IN SONG * Peter Agócs Abstract : This chapter comprises a narratological analysis of Pindar’s longest victory-ode, Pythian , composed to celebrate a chariot victory at Delphi of Arcesilas IV, the Battiad king of Cyrene. Through a close reading of the ode as a colonisation story, and through comparison with the traditions set out by Herodotus in his Libyan logos , it examines Pindar’s handling of oral and poetic tradition, and the connection between poetic form and political/social ideology. Keywords: Pindar, Pythian , collective/social memory, ideological meaning of poetry, time and narrative, Cyrene, Herodotus. Introduction n the late summer or early autumn of = BCE , Arcesilas IV, the eighth Battiad king of Cyrene in line from the Founder Battos I, won the Ichariot-race at the Pythian Games. His victory was celebrated by Pindar in two epinician odes ( Pythians and ). Together with Pythian ?, composed twelve years earlier for the victory of Telesicrates in the Delphic race in armour, and the Libyan logos that Herodotus composed a few decades later, these songs form our largest textual dossier on how the Hellenes of North Africa understood their early history, particularly with respect to the foundation ( ktisis ) of Cyrene. 1 * I wish to thank the editors, as well as Jessica Lightfoot, Alan Griffiths, Zsigmond Ritoók, Samu Gábor, Felix Budelmann, Chris Carey, and Simon Hornblower, all of whom read drafts of this piece and suggested changes. I thank Raymond Geuss and Chris Kassam, Asya Sigelman and her class at Bryn Mawr College, and certain colleagues in the Cambridge Classics faculty, for reading the ode with me.

Kagan | 560 pages | 08 Mar 2012 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007115068 | English | London, United Kingdom The history of the Peloponnesian War: Athens vs. Sparta The two most powerful city-states in ancient Greece, Athens and Spartawent to war with each other from to B. The Peloponnesian War marked a significant power shift in ancient Greecefavoring Sparta, and also ushered in a period of regional decline that signaled the end of what is considered the Golden Age of Ancient Greece. In reality, the league The Peloponnesian War: Athens and Sparta in Savage Conflict 431-404 BC granted increased power and prestige to Athens. It was only a matter of time before the two powerful leagues collided. It became a year conflict between Athens and Sparta and their allies. Peace was decreed by the signing of the Thirty Years Treaty in B. Corinth retreated to rebuild its fleet and plan retaliation. In B. The Athenian government debated the suggestion, but its leader Pericles suggested a defensive alliance with Corcya, sending a small number of ships to protect it against Corinthian forces. All forces met at the Battle of Sybota, in which Corinth, with no support from Sparta, attacked and then retreated at the sight of Athenian ships. Athens, convinced it was about to enter war with Corinth, strengthened its military hold on its various territories in the region to prepare. A year passed before Sparta took aggressive action. During that time, Sparta sent three delegations to Athens to avoid war, offering proposals that could be viewed as a betrayal of Corinth.
