This term has been commonly applied by modern scholars to four wars which took place in ancient Greece between- the sixth and fourth centuries B. C. The modern use of "the attribute "Sacred War" to refer to these four wars in particular raises two questions. First, did the ancient historians give all four of these wars the title "Sacred War?" And second, what justified the use of this title only for certain conflicts? In order to resolve the first of these questions, it is necessary to examine in what terms the ancient historians referred to these wars.

  • 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.

  • The Locrians and the Sea*
    ADOLFO J. DOMÍNGUEZ The Locrians and the Sea* As is well known, the Locrians occupied two different territories in central Greece, although for both the relationship with the sea was intense. Eastern Lo- cris occupied a stretch of about 80 km. as the crow flies on the Gulf of Northern Euboea while Western Locris occupied a similar distance along the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth. In this paper I shall analyse the information we have about the relationship of these two territories with the sea. We shall begin our analysis with Eastern Locris. Although I shall not dwell too long on the period following the end of the Mycenaean age, we do need to consider an interesting piece of evidence. Exca- vations carried out in Pyrgos Livanates have shown, in the phase beginning after a mid-twelfth century earthquake, important elements linking this site to the sea. Thus, along with miniature models of commercial and war vessels, some craters with painted decoration depicting scenes of naval battles have been found. Since it seems that the pottery was manufactured in situ we can assume that it proba- bly depicts actual acts of naval war and/or piracy, which would have been fre- quent in this turbulent period1. Some possible relationships, perhaps of an economic nature, between Lo- cris and the eastern and northeastern Aegean during the Protogeometric Age had been suggested by the discovery at Troy of amphorae with parallels that indicate a place of production in the Locrian territory or neighbouring regions2, although new researches suggest that at least part of them were locally manufactured in the Troad; however there are other wares in Troy (e.g.

Amante developed their civic life by building cities and castles that identify their region. Their main town was Amantia, a political-administrative center from which depended even other civic centers Olympia, Treporti, Kanina or quays as Cerja, Matohasanaj etc.This was accomplished through a federal political form that was known as koinon. Self koinoni formed a separate state pyramid, because each unity that federates there ,also had local government power. Amanties City is located near the present village of Ploce, in south-east of Vlora, between flow Valley Shushica in the right, and Valley Vjosa(Aos) in the river left. Regarding the etymology of the name Amantia, in English has a native word "stream, source ", which N.Joklin means" shore-river man"(bregalumas in Albanian). In the fourth century B.C, Amantia is definitely an important city in south of Illyria, in addition to his neighbor Bylys. In the III-rd century , Amante shed a coin in their own market.

  • Chapter 2 an Outline of Thessalian History
    CHAPTER 2 AN OUTLINE OF THESSALIAN HISTORY The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief narrative of Thessalian history, with special focus on the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods. In so doing, I hope to create an adequate frame of reference for the following chapters which focus on religion. I neither canvas all of the relevant sources, nor do I tackle all of the region’s numerous thorny historiographical problems. My focus is on basic domestic and foreign political developments in Thessalian history and broader, observable trends in Thessalian society. 2.1: Foreign Affairs Long considered the northern frontier of Mycenaean civilization,1 recent excavations at Bronze Age Dimini (= Homeric Iolkos?) may reveal a settlement equal in stature to the great Peloponnesian centers of Mycenaean civilization. Thessaly’s prominence in the Homeric catalogue of ships is conspicuous. Although it is notoriously difficult to utilize that document for “historical” purposes, it is noteworthy that nearly all of the locations of Homeric Thessaly have produced Protogeometric material.2 Thessaly seems to have been a major military power in northern Greece during the Archaic period. Thessalian forces allegedly participated in the Lelantine War and the first Sacred War.3 A Thessalian alliance with the Peisistratids in Athens brought Thessalian forces into contact with the dominant power of the Peloponnese, Sparta, on 1 Feuer 1983. On the Bronze Age in northern Greece more generally, cf. Andreou, Fotiadis et al. 1996. 2 Morgan 2003: 102-5. 3 Cf. Lehmann 1983. 11 12 at least two occasions in the late sixth century. The Thessalians were among the first Greek powers to medize during the Persian Wars,4 although Herodotus suggests that this was a somewhat controversial decision of the Aleuadai, an aristocratic clan in Larisa, imposed upon Thessaly as a whole.

The territory studied is bounded by Thermopylai on the northwest and Mount Knemis on the southeast, and lies between Mount Kallidromos and the northern end of the Gulf of Euboia. The literary sources do not say much about the history of this territory, and there is not even unanimity concerning the number of states within it. Epigraphy does not provide much useful information either, since there are not many inscriptions from the region.
