On the Decline of Delphic Divination in the Fourth Century BCE: Writing and Its Discontents
On the Decline of Delphic Divination in the Fourth Century BCE: Writing and its Discontents In 352 BCE, the Athenians consulted Apollo at Delphi about whether the outer perimeters of the sacred land owned by the sanctuary of Demeter in Eleusis should continue to be leased and cultivated. Before this consultation, the sanctuary leased perimeters of its sacred land for the maintenance of its temple, a practice that raised tensions between the Athenians and the Megarians about the boundaries of the sanctuary’s land. The Athenians asked Delphi whether the sanctuary should continue to lease these lands. An inscription records how the Athenians consulted Delphi. (I follow the reconstruction of the historical context of IGii2 204 in Bowden 2005: 91–93. See also Osborn and Rhodes 2003: 272–81.) Their method is unique among the 600 or so oracles attributed to Delphi (collected in Parke and Wormell 1956 and Fontenrose 1978). I argue this Athenian procedure, and in particular the Athenians’ use of writing, suggests why Delphi was less consulted in the fourth century BCE. The Athenian adopt a procedure that reduces Delphic divination to a matter of selecting a jar and that reduces Apollo’s response to an answer that precludes debate among the Athenians. The Athenians inscribe two pieces of tin, writing on one that it would be better to lease the land and on another that it would be better to leave the land uncultivated. Each tin sheet was wrapped in wool, tossed in a bronze jug and then separately placed in a gold jar and a silver jar. -

It places Roman decision-making and action within its proper context by emphasizing the role that Greek polities and Illyrian tribes played in both the outbreak and conclusion of the war. It argues that the primary motivation behind the Roman decision to declare war against the Ardiaei in 229 was to secure the very profitable trade routes linking Brundisium to the eastern shore of the Adriatic. It was in fact the failure of the major Greek powers to limit Ardiaean piracy that led directly to Roman intervention. In the earliest phase of trans-Adriatic engagement Rome was essentially uninterested in expansion or establishing a formal hegemony in the Greek East and maintained only very loose ties to the polities of the eastern Adriatic coast. -
Investigation Report ALBANIA
Report No. 49504-AL Investigation Report ALBANIA: Power Sector Generation and Restructuring Project (IDA Credit No. 3872-ALB) August 7, 2009 About the Panel The Inspection Panel was created in September 1993 by the Board of Executive Directors of the World Bank to serve as an independent mechanism to ensure accountability in Bank operations with respect to its policies and procedures. The Inspection Panel is an instrument for groups of two or more private citizens who believe that they or their interests have been or could be harmed by Bank-financed activities to present their concerns through a Request for Inspection. In short, the Panel provides a link between the Bank and the people who are likely to be affected by the projects it finances. Members of the Panel are selected “on the basis of their ability to deal thoroughly and fairly with the request brought to them, their integrity and their independence from the Bank’s Management, and their exposure to developmental issues and to living conditions in developing countries.”1 The three-member Panel is empowered, subject to Board approval, to investigate problems that are alleged to have arisen as a result of the Bank having non complied its own operating policies and procedures. Processing Requests After the Panel receives a Request for Inspection it is processed as follows: The Panel decides whether the Request is prima facie not barred from Panel consideration. The Panel registers the Request—a purely administrative procedure. The Panel sends the Request to Bank Management, which has 21 working days to respond to the allegations of the Requesters. -

Review–Discussion Il Polibio Di Peter Derow
Histos 13 (2019) XI–XXVI REVIEW–DISCUSSION IL POLIBIO DI PETER DEROW Peter Derow, Rome, Polybius, and the East, edited by Andrew Erskine and Josephine Crawley Quinn. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015. Pp. xxiii + 311. Hardback, £100.00/$135.00 ISBN 978-0-19-964090-4. uesto volume rende omaggio a un influente studioso di storia ellenistico-romana e di storiografia antica, a qualche anno dalla Q scomparsa, riunendone quindici saggi, tra i quali un inedito. Nelle quattro sezioni principali in cui è suddiviso (Narratives; Polybius and Roman Power; The Roman Calendar; Epigraphy), il volume dà un’idea completa della produzione e dei principali interessi di ricerca di Peter Derow: il fatto che la metà dei saggi componga la sezione polibiana riflette fedelmente la centralità dello storico di Megalopoli e dei processi storici analizzati nelle Storie negli interessi scientifici dello studioso, che fu statunitense di nascita, cittadino canadese, e docente a Oxford per gran parte della carriera.1 Di D., la ‘Introduction’, a più mani, offre un ritratto interessante e vivacissimo: oltre che dei due curatori, A. Erskine e J. Crawley Quinn, essa include contributi di E. Gruen, T. D. Barnes, G. Shipley, e si chiude con un breve intervento dello stesso D.2 Al di là degli aspetti pittoreschi e dei ricordi personali che arricchiscono e rendono questo ritratto coinvolgente, sentito, a tratti toccante,3 è tratteggiata con efficacia la personalità di uno studioso utoac e originale, devotissimo all’inse- gnamento (che praticava con un metodo e uno stile che potremmo definire 1 Nato nel 1944, Derow è morto nel 2006. -

Matthew W. Kelley ([email protected]) Boston University CAMWS 2018 Correcting Herodotus 1.56: The Histories’ Non-answer to the Pelasgian Question I. The Grammar 1) Hdt. 1.56.1-2: ...μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐφρόντιζε ἱστορέων τοὺς ἂν Ἑλλήνων δυνατωτάτους ἐόντας προσκτήσαιτο φίλους, [2] ἱστορέων δὲ εὕρισκε Λακεδαιμονίους καὶ Ἀθηναίους προέχοντας τοὺς μὲν τοῦ Δωρικοῦ γένεος τοὺς δὲ τοῦ Ἰωνικοῦ. ταῦτα γὰρ ἦν τὰ προκεκριμένα, ἐόντα τὸ ἀρχαῖον τὸ μὲν Πελασγικὸν τὸ δὲ Ἑλληνικὸν ἔθνος. καὶ τὸ μὲν οὐδαμῇ κω ἐξεχώρησε, τὸ δὲ πολυπλάνητον κάρτα. “Afterward, [Croesus] took care to inquire whom of the Greeks, being the most powerful, he should acquire as his friends. He made the inquiry and found that the Spartans were best of the Doric race and the Athenians the best of the Ionic. For these races were preeminent, the first being of old a Pelasgic tribe and the other a Hellenic one. And the first has not yet left their home for anywhere, while the other is very much a wandering tribe.” 2) Raymond Weil is the only scholar to read the lines as I propose: “Les Athéniens sont un ‘ethnos’ héllenique qui fait partie du ‘génos’ ionien, les Lacédémoniens un ‘ethnos’ pélasgique à rattacher au ‘génos’ dorien.” - Weil (1960) 385. II. Arguments for Common Translation ➢ Dorian invasion = πολυπλάνητον ➢ Athenian authochthony = οὐδαμῇ κω ἐξεχώρησε ➢ Herodotus ties Athenians or Ionians to Pelasgians 3 times. ○ 1.57, 7.94-95 (both qualified), 8.44 (back when all of Greece was Pel.) ➢ Dorians are Hellenes par excellence. III. Why Pelasgian Dorians are possible ➢ Dorians did travel, but no more than Ionians. -

Ancient Greece from Homer to Alexander: the Evidence / Joseph Roisman
Roisman Historical Sources in Translation Ancient Greece from Homer to Alexander Ancient Greece from Homer to Alexander to Homer from Greece Ancient “Students of ancient Greece will respond to this book as John Sheffield (1709) did to Homer: ‘you will hardly need another book.’ The new compilation of evidence merits the same praise for its range, aids, and the quality of its illustrations and commentaries.” Carol Thomas, University of Washington “This wide-ranging collection of passages from the ancient sources, judiciously selected and edited by Joseph Roisman, and freshly translated by John Yardley, provides students of Greek history with an essential corpus of evidence for the period from Homer to the Macedonian conquest of the East. Roisman and Yardley are richly deserving of our praise and gratitude.” Waldemar Heckel, University of Calgary “If you want a thorough and expert introduction to the evidence of ancient Greek history – in other words, to the building blocks of western civilization – read this book.” Barry Strauss, Cornell University Incorporating fresh, new translations of original Greek and Roman texts and drawing on a range of sources, including artistic evidence, this sourcebook provides an inclusive and integrated view of Greek history, from Homer to Alexander the Great. Linking the political, military, and social history of the Greeks to their intellectual accomplishments, Ancient Greece from Homer to Alexander offers a full and integrated perspective on the period. Rather than Historical Sources in Translation compartmentalizing Greek history and civilization into a number of thematic studies, the book focuses on important developments, placing them within their political, economic, cultural, and intellectual contexts, and examining both their influences and their effects. -

Political Thought and Literature in the Early Historians
Inventing a New Genre: Herodotus, Thucydides, and the Challenge of Writing Large-scale Prose History Kurt A. Raaflaub Outline Issues and questions — fiction — usefulness of history — ktēma es aiei — patterns — the human condition — typical behavior — the impact of hindsight — stark contrasts — why is patterning needed? — exempla and patterns — why does history need a didactic function? — giving relevance to history — creating a panhellenic public for history — preserving the memory of great deeds and demonstrating the usefulness of history — shaping and manipulating history — Herodotus’s and Thucydides’ shared concerns — de-ideologizing history (liberty and self-sufficiency) — narrative choices — art and deeper truth in history. Notes [1] Thuc. 1.1.3; Hdt. 1.5.3. Plato, Rep. 2.382c-d: The lie (or falsehood) is also useful in the case of those tales about the past (mythologiai) we just mentioned, because we do not know where the truth lies in tales about ancient matters (ta palaia), we make them useful (chrēsimon) as much as possible by likening falsehood to truth (aphomoiountes tōi alēthei to pseudos). For a useful discussion of Plato’s statement, see Gill 1993: esp. 52-56. I thank Kathryn Morgan for alerting me to this passage.
