  • Herodotus' Conception of Foreign Languages
    Histos () - HERODOTUS’ CONCEPTION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES * Introduction In one of the most famous passages in his Histories , Herodotus has the Athe- nians give the reasons why they would never betray Greece (..): first and foremost, the images and temples of the gods, burnt and requiring vengeance, and then ‘the Greek thing’, being of the same blood and the same language, having common shrines and sacrifices and the same way of life. With race or blood, and with religious cult, language appears as one of the chief determinants of Greek identity. This impression is confirmed in Herodotus’ accounts of foreign peoples: language is—with religious customs, dress, hairstyles, sexual habits—one of the key items on Herodotus’ checklist of similarities and differences with foreign peoples. That language was an important element of what, to a Greek, it meant to be a Greek, should not perhaps be thought surprising. As is well known, the Greeks called non- Greeks βάρβαροι , a term usually taken to refer pejoratively to the babble of * This paper has been delivered in a number of different versions at St. Andrews, Newcastle, and at the Classical Association AGM.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

PUTNAM'S SONS NEW YORK AND LONDON Zbc Umfcfeerbocfeer press 1917 Copyright, 1917 BY ROBERT DICK WILSON Ube ttnfcJterbocher press, Hew J£orfe INTRODUCTION This volume is concerned especially with the objec- tions made to the historical statements contained in the book of Daniel, and treats incidentally of chronological, geographical, and philosophical questions. In a second volume, it is my intention to discuss the objections made against the book on the ground of philological assump- tions based on the nature of the Hebrew and Aramaic in which it is written. In a third volume, I shall discuss Daniel's relation to the canon of the Old Testament as determining the date of the book, and in connection with this the silence ot Ecclesiasticus with reference to Daniel, the alleged absence of an observable influence of Daniel upon post-captivity literature, and the whole matter of apocalyptic literature, especially in its rela- tion to predictive prophecy. method pursued is to give first of all a discussion The _ of some of the principles involved in the objections con- sidered in the pages following; then, to state the objec- tions with the assumptions on which They"are based; next, to give the reasons why these assumptions are adjudged to be false; and, lastly, to sum up in a few words the conclusions to be derived from the discussion.

  • Michael Witzel, Harvarduniversity the HOME of the ARYANS § 1. Homelands the Search for an Indo-European Homeland Has Taken Us S
    1 Michael Witzel, HarvardUniversity THE HOME OF THE ARYANS § 1. Homelands The search for an Indo-European homeland has taken us some two hundred years by now. The discussion can easily be summarized, if somewhat facetiously, by: the homeland is at, or close to the homeland of the author of the book in question... The same applies, mutatis mutandis, to the homeland of the Indo-Iranians, or Arya/Ārya, as they call themselves. For this, we will have to look a little bit further afield, first of all, to the Urals. The main part of this paper, however, will be concerned with the supposed "mythical homeland" of the Iranians, Airiianəm Vaẽjah. § 2 Ural Aryans? For, it is on the W. Siberian plains just east of the Ural mountains, on the rivers Išim and Tobol, that Russian archaeologists have found already some 20 years ago what might amount to some of the earliest attested traces of Aryan material culture -- and even of Aryan belief. This is not altogether unknown in the west but as it has found so little resonance in Indo-Iranian studies, that some of the evidence may be repeated briefly. The Sintashta-Arkaim culture is found in the Chelyabinsk region east of the Urals with some 30 sites, all situated at a strategically chosen location at the bend of a river. It is part of the Andronovo cultural horizon of the steppe and forested steppe of Kazakhstan and surroundings, reaching up to the Yenessei and the high valleys of the Pamir and Tian Shan. This now includes some 250 sites (KUZ'MINA 1994).

The research will focus on the iconography and inscriptions that were employed on the coinage in order to demonstrate how Parthian authorities used these objects to convey political and religious ideologies to a diverse audience.

  • The Horse and the Lion in Achaemenid Persia: Representations of a Duality
    arts Article The Horse and the Lion in Achaemenid Persia: Representations of a Duality Eran Almagor Independent Researcher, P.O. Box 3410, Jerusalem 91033, Israel; [email protected] Abstract: This paper explores the ambiguous Persian Achaemenid attitude towards the horse and the lion. It examines the way these animals appear in imperial official presentations, local artifacts throughout the empire and Greek textual representations. In the case of the stallion, it looks at the imagery of horse riding or the place of the horse in society and religion alongside the employment of steeds in chariots. Images of the lion are addressed in instances where it appears to be respected as having a significant protective power and as the prey of the chase. This paper attempts to show that this ambiguity corresponds roughly to the dual image of the Persians as both pre-imperial/nomad Citation: Almagor, Eran. 2021.

  • THE SELEUKH) ROYAL ECONOMY the Finances and Financial Administration of the Seleukid Empire
    THE SELEUKH) ROYAL ECONOMY The finances and financial administration of the Seleukid empire GERASSIMOS EFTHIMIOS GEORGE APERGHIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 1999 History Department, University College London 2 ABSTRACT The sources are first discussed, with emphasis on Near Eastern written material, archaeological data and numismatics. After a brief historical summary, the essential problem of the early Seleukid kings is presented: how to convert a commodity-based economy into a monetary one. The underlying economy of the empire is next described. An assessment by region points to a peak population of some 20 million, occupied mainly in agriculture and local trade, which the new city foundations and royal land-grants stimulated. Ps-Aristotle’s Oikonomika forms the basis of the main section. It is argued that the work belongs to the early 3rd century B.C. and describes the conditions of the Seleukid empire. Every form of satrapal revenue listed is analysed and rates of tribute, taxation and rent derived, where possible, and shown to be generally high. Coinage is found to have been increasingly used for payments by the administration, mostly for a large standing army. Similarly, taxation receipts were also required in coin and surplus commodity production on royal land was disposed of for silver, where possible. The tetradrachm served as the primary medium and fiduciary bronze tended to be used in place of small silver, but the Seleukids sought only to maintain appropriate currency levels in each region and their many mints essentially coined to replace what was lost through wear, apart from bursts of production for military needs.

  • 3 the Development of a Near Eastern Culture During the Persian Empire
    MEHREGAN - NEAR EASTERN CULTURE 3 The Development of a Near Eastern Culture during the Persian Empire Gerd Gropp Seminarflir Geschichte und Kultur des Vorderen Orients Universitiit Hamburg Most scholars - European, American or Iranian - see Ancient Iranian history, that is, the period before the advent of the Islamic Arabs, as a succession of the three empires of the Achaemenids, Arsacids and Sasanians. It is only in the last two decades that we begin to realize the existence of a predecessor of the Achaemenids, the Median Empire. But the more we learn about this early period the more astonishing are the results we get. Up to last century our single source for Median history was Herodotus1 who had information about four Median emperors,2 ruling over a period of 150 years. These were Deiokes, who founded HamadanlEkbatana; Phraortes, who was killed in war against Assyria; Kyaxares, who made wars against the Scythians, the Assyrians and Lydians and finally conquered Nineve(h); and last, King Astyages, who lost his empire to Kyros (or Cyrus) the Great. The contemporary documents of the Assyrians and Babylonians, written in cuneiform script, have in many details confirmed the report of Herodotus, but in some particularities they have added substantially.3 So, the Median period did not last for 150 years only but for not much less than 300 years. It began in 835 BCE and ended in 550 BCE. There were some more Median kings than those mentioned by Herodotus, but up to now the whole line of the dynasty could not be established with certainty. Even now it is especially the first century ofMedian history that still remains a white patch.
