CLASSICS Department of The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date -7Q ^ ii ABSTRACT Khares of Angele was an Athenian military magistrate and mercenary soldier for over forty years in the mid-fourth century B.C. For two decades between the outbreak of the Social War and the battle of Khaironeia he was Athens' pre-eminent military leader. The ancient sources dealing with this era of Greek history mention him with great frequency and his role in the events of his times provoked strong comments and vivid portraits from contemporary writers. In modern interpretations of fourth-century history Khares is cited as an example of the increasing trend in the city-state towards professionalism and specialization. He is commonly referred to as the quintessential example of the fourth-century mercenary adventurer, or condottiere, who increasingly oper• ated beyond the control of, and without regard for, his home government. These factors have often been considered important in contributing to the decline of Athens as a political power and to the breakdown in the ideal of the -i: Classical city-state. Despite his long presence at the hub of the political history of the later fourth century, there has been no systematic attempt to study his career in its entirety for almost 140 years. Scholars who encounter this important figure in Athenian history have relied on selected, isolated incidents or on vague r : reports in the orators and other sources to form opinions about Khares, and to make generalizations about him and other military and political leaders on that basis without regard to the rest of the available evidence. This study seeks to ppovide a full and detailed account of the entire career of Khares inuorder =to create a balanced and complete foundation on which his role in the history of Athens and Greece in the fourth century may be fairly and accurately assessed. It is believed that a detailed survey of his iii whole career in its historical, social and literary context will contribute to a better appreciation of the relationship between military magistrates and the Athenian democracy, an improved understanding of Athenian politics and a keener awareness of certain problems facing the city-states in this period as well as their representation in the sources. This study is divided into three parts. The first part, consisting of two chapters, surveys the magisterial and military career of Khares. The second part, also consisting of two chapters, examines Khares1 relationships with other politically active Athenians. The third part, comprising one chapter, investigates the contemporary literary sources that mention Khares in an at^.; tempt to determine what, if any, motivations or bias they may have had in their characterizations of him. In the first part the evidence shows clearly that Khares was a popular and durable elected magistrate, accountable and obedient to his government. The evidence does not support the notion that he was a mercenary adventurer at any time while engaged in his career as strategos. In fact, he accepted service as a mercenary only after his days as an elected magistrate at Athens were over, and then he consistently served against the Macedonians. This activity fits the pattern of similarly motivated Athenian military men, who resisted Macedonian domination as foreign mercenaries when their city no longer could. In the second part the evidence indicates that Khares was allied with other politically prominent Athenians only for short periods of time in order to achieve specific and limited political goals. He is consistently character• ized as one of, or in cofoperation with those characterized as, the demotikoi. His career was not dependent on any of the major political figures. In the third part the severely negative portraits of Khares are seen to have been motivated by personal animosity and political expediency. Contribut• ing to this tradition is the conventional nature of ancient oratory and the iv pervasive literary influence over that genre exercised by Isokrates, whose malevolence can be explained on personal grounds.

Khares was strategos often over a long period, almost the entire middle third of the fourth century B.C. Along with Phokion he is the strategos most frequently mentioned in the sources on this period of Greek history. His was an era in which Athenian power and influence waned, and his role in the city's decline was, and is controversial. A modern treatment of Khares is lacking, H. Cassianus' 1849 dissertation, De Charetis Atheniensis rebus gestis ac moribus, although brief, was a useful collection of the sources, but it generally failed to have much impact. At any rate, none of the standard prosopographical works (for which see the Index Prosopographica) show any awareness of it. The most frequently cited source; of informationion.the man aside from these works is H.W. Parke's Greek Mercenary Soldiers, especially the chapter entitled "Greek Mercenary Adventurers." Parke's attitude is implicit in the chapter's title, but, despite the fact that his book is now over fifty years old, its influence is still pervasive. Particularly widespread is Parke's characterization of the Athenian strategos as a "roving condottiere over whose movements his city had little control" (p.144). More recently W.K. Pritchett has devoted a chapter of his book The Greek State at War, Part II to "The Condottieri of the Fourth Century B.C." His study focused on the activities abroad of eight fourth-century generals from several states, one of whom was Khares of Athens. Pritchett argued con• vincingly that for his entire sample the notion of the mercenary general out of control is erroneous. Despite Pritchett's efforts old attitudes prevail. An example of this is Jack Cargill's Second Athenian League, in which the author blames Khares almost solely for the decline of the fourth-century Athenian maritime alliance, vii and he does so, literally, from introduction to conclusion. Other works could be cited as well, such as Jennifer Roberts' Accountability in Athenian Government, in which isolated incidents from the life of Khares have been seized upon and extrapolated into patterns used to explain his entire career. A detailed study of Khares' whole career, then, is both long overdue and needed to provide a more even foundation on which to base assessments of its effect on the history of Athens in the later fourth century. In addition to offering a detailed account of this man's career in its broader political, social and literary context, it is hoped that such a study will test Pritchett's conclusions about military magistrates who commanded mercenary soldiers, that it will contribute to our understanding of Athenian politics and to the rela• tionship between the democracy of Athens and its magistrates, and that it will illuminate the process of the creation of a literary-historical tradition. The ancient sources for the life of Khares have been gathered into an Appendix Testimoniorum which follows the bibliography. Each independent piece of evidence has been assigned a number from 1 to 90 prefixed by the letter T (e.g., T1, T2...T90). This has been done to simplify references and to avoid repeatedly reproducing long passages in the original languages.

Ruhll first called attention to a E curious and difficult fragment of Theopompos2 in the Contra Iulianum of St. Cyril of Alexandria. The fragment, now printed as number 90 in Jacoby's collection, is an attack on the integrity of Cimon, the fifth-century Athenian general. Since Ruhl's discovery the fragment has received little serious discussion: it was omitted in the collections of Theopompos made by Schranz and by Grenfell and Hunt,3 only briefly discussed by Jacoby,4 applied to other Athen­ ians by Meyer and Wade-Gery,5 and dismissed by Ruhl himself as part of a "vollstandiges Lugensystem"6 developed by the Christian authors to denigrate paganism. More disconcerting is the failure of two important studies of Theopompos to consider the fragment. Both K. von Fritz and A. Momigliano accept the view that Theopompos gave his "permanent approval" to Cimon, "the old-time gentleman, brilliant in war as well as in society, a perfect aristocrat ... who was finally defeated ... 1 F. RUhl, Die Quellen Plutarchs im Leben des Kimcn (Marburg dissertation 1867). 2 FGrHist 115 F 90. It has been suggested to me that the large number of iambic feet in the fragment (infra page 108) may indicate that the fragment belongs to Theopompos the comic poet, not Theopompos the historian. The fragment, however, accords well with what is known of the digression on the demagogues in the Philippica, and has no obvious parallel among the fragments of the comedian.

  • Who Freed Athens? J
    Ancient Greek Democracy: Readings and Sources Edited by Eric W. Robinson Copyright © 2004 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd The Beginnings of the Athenian Democracv: Who Freed Athens? J Introduction Though the very earliest democracies lildy took shape elsewhere in Greece, Athens embraced it relatively early and would ultimately become the most famous and powerful democracy the ancient world ever hew. Democracy is usually thought to have taken hold among the Athenians with the constitutional reforms of Cleisthenes, ca. 508/7 BC. The tyrant Peisistratus and later his sons had ruled Athens for decades before they were overthrown; Cleisthenes, rallying the people to his cause, made sweeping changes. These included the creation of a representative council (bode)chosen from among the citizens, new public organizations that more closely tied citizens throughout Attica to the Athenian state, and the populist ostracism law that enabled citizens to exile danger- ous or undesirable politicians by vote. Beginning with these measures, and for the next two centuries or so with only the briefest of interruptions, democracy held sway at Athens. Such is the most common interpretation. But there is, in fact, much room for disagree- ment about when and how democracy came to Athens. Ancient authors sometimes refer to Solon, a lawgiver and mediator of the early sixth century, as the founder of the Athenian constitution. It was also a popular belief among the Athenians that two famous “tyrant-slayers,” Harmodius and Aristogeiton, inaugurated Athenian freedom by assas- sinating one of the sons of Peisistratus a few years before Cleisthenes’ reforms - though ancient writers take pains to point out that only the military intervention of Sparta truly ended the tyranny.

  • Middle Comedy: Not Only Mythology and Food
    Acta Ant. Hung. 56, 2016, 421–433 DOI: 10.1556/068.2016.56.4.2 VIRGINIA MASTELLARI MIDDLE COMEDY: NOT ONLY MYTHOLOGY AND FOOD View metadata, citation and similar papersTHE at core.ac.ukPOLITICAL AND CONTEMPORARY DIMENSION brought to you by CORE provided by Repository of the Academy's Library Summary: The disappearance of the political and contemporary dimension in the production after Aris- tophanes is a false belief that has been shared for a long time, together with the assumption that Middle Comedy – the transitional period between archaia and nea – was only about mythological burlesque and food. The misleading idea has surely risen because of the main source of the comic fragments: Athenaeus, The Learned Banqueters. However, the contemporary and political aspect emerges again in the 4th c. BC in the creations of a small group of dramatists, among whom Timocles, Mnesimachus and Heniochus stand out (significantly, most of them are concentrated in the time of the Macedonian expansion). Firstly Timocles, in whose fragments the personal mockery, the onomasti komodein, is still present and sharp, often against contemporary political leaders (cf. frr. 17, 19, 27 K.–A.). Then, Mnesimachus (Φίλιππος, frr. 7–10 K.–A.) and Heniochus (fr. 5 K.–A.), who show an anti- and a pro-Macedonian attitude, respec- tively. The present paper analyses the use of the political and contemporary element in Middle Comedy and the main differences between the poets named and Aristophanes, trying to sketch the evolution of the genre, the points of contact and the new tendencies. Key words: Middle Comedy, Politics, Onomasti komodein For many years, what is known as the “food fallacy”1 has been widespread among scholars of Comedy.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-51428-6 - Menander: Samia (The Woman From Samos) Edited by Alan H. Sommerstein Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION 1 MENANDER’S LIFE AND CAREER Menander, son of Diopeithes (of the Athenian deme of Cephisia) and his wife Hegestrate,1 was born in the Athenian year 342/1 bc;2 he was thus about three years old when Macedonian hegemony over Greece was firmly established with Philip II’s defeat of the Athenians and Thebans at Chaeronea, and came of age, at eighteen, in the year (324/3) near the end of which Alexander the Great died in Babylon. In accordance with the practice of the time ([Arist.] Ath.Pol. 42), he spent the following two years (323/2 and 322/1) living the semi-segregated life of an ‘ephebe’ (cf. 10n.) in the company of his age-mates, one of whom was destined for a fame equalling his own – the future philosopher Epicurus;3 these years witnessed the crushing of an Athenian-led anti-Macedonian revolt in the so-called Lamian War, followed by the disfranchisement of the poorer citizens (many of whom were deported to Thrace) by command of the Macedonian regent Antipater, who also ordered several leading demo- cratic politicians, including Demosthenes and Hypereides, to be executed without trial, and placed a Macedonian garrison at the Peiraeus.4 From then on, despite repeated regime changes including several restorations of democracy, Athens always remained dependent on one or another of the Macedonian dynasts who fought each other for shares of Alexander’s empire.5 Menander, it seems, had chosen the profession of a comic poet at an early age; one source claims that he attached himself to an established dramatist, Alexis of Thurii, to learn the craft.6 At any rate he was still an 1 Apollodorus FGrH 244 F 43; IG XIV 1184; Paus.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.
