Jacoby, Abhandlungen zur griechischen Geschichtschreibung, ed. H. Bloch (Leiden, Brill, *+,-), *-–-/. In editing the essay Professor Bloch included references to other writings by Jacoby, especially in his multi-volume Die Fragmente der griechischen Historiker (Berlin–Leiden, *+2/-,3), cited as FGrHist , his Atthis: The Local Chronicles of Ancient Athens (Oxford, *+5+), cited as Atthis , and his articles in Pauly’s Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft (Stuttgart, *3+5–*+36), cited as RE . Professor Bloch’s additions are normally placed within square brackets; he also cited later writings in his ‘Anhang vom Herausgeber’, Abhandlungen , 52/–-. These are often references to historians whose remains have been gathered up in FGrHist or articles in RE . Sometimes it was necessary to include them in the main text, which may disturb some readers, in order not to change the numbering of the footnotes. The page numbers in the right-hand margins are those of this essay as it appeared in the Abhandlungen . We have also benefited from Leone Porciani’s ‘aggiornamento bibliografico’ in Aspetti dell’opera di Felix Jacoby , ed. C. Ampolo (Pisa, 266-) 55,–,,, which assisted us in assigning numbers (in square brackets at the time of their first mention in the essay) to the many authors who had not been assigned their numbers within FGrHist when Jacoby published this article in *+6+. We did not, however, include viii Felix Jacoby his references to collections of fragments published after Jacoby except for references to FGrHist Continued . To assist readers who may not know Greek, we have usually given brief translations of Greek names and terms within square brackets. In the transliteration of Greek words and names, we have sometimes used forms familiar in English (Herodotus, Thucydides, Aristotle) but have usually followed Jacoby’s spelling (Hekataios, Hellanikos), which is closer to the original Greek. For the titles of works ending in –ka we have chosen to transliterate the title itself rather than insert a translation; the reader should be aware that this neuter plural suffix is equivalent to ‘things’ or ‘matters’, so that a term such as Makedonika will mean something like ‘Macedonian matters’ or ‘Macedonian affairs’. English translations in the text are by A. de Sélincourt– J. Marincola (Harmondsworth, 266/) for Herodotus; by C. F. Smith in the Loeb Classical Library (London and Cambridge, Mass., *+23–/6) for Thucydides, and by C. H. Oldfather, also of the Loeb Classical Library, volume * (London and Cambridge, Mass., *+//) for Diodorus. We are grateful to Brill Publishers and Jennifer Pavelko, Senior Acquisitions Editor for Classical Studies and Philosophy, for permission to use the original German text of this essay. We thank Professors Stanley Burstein (Los Angeles), John Marincola (Tallahassee), and Guido Schepens (Leuven) for reading, and often improving, our translation. We also thank Alexander Skufca of Florida State University for compiling the Index, and the Histos team for their help in bringing this translation to a wider audience.

On the Development of Greek Historiography and the Plan for a New Collection of the Fragments of ∗ the Greek Historians The Müller Collection (9 he need for a new collection of the fragments of the Greek historians requires no special explanation. TAnyone who is compelled to work long with Müller’s five volumes—even with all approval for the creator of a useful and until now indispensable resource—will have complained often enough about the lack of independence, the failure of criticism, and the incompleteness of the collection; perhaps even more often, about the inconvenient, at many times absolutely arbitrary order of the fragments and the authors. Even if one disregards the first volume and forgives the combining, in a totally illogical way, of historians of different types and of various times as a consequence of external necessities, one will still be unable to judge the organisation favourably: the chronological ∗ Klio & ((&)&) +)–(-.. Lecture, delivered + August [(&)+], to the International Congress for Historical Sciences [Berlin]. I have retained the form of the lecture, but here I offer my complete manuscript, which because of the limits of time in the meeting I could deliver only in selection and often severely shortened. I have occasionally expanded the notes; I have done the same to one section of the text, on which the discussion after the lecture especially concentrated (see below, pp. 78ff.). Hekataios [FGrHist (]; a horographer (Charon) [ FGrHist -9-]; an ethnographer (Xanthos) [ FGrHist ;98]; three genealogists (with Hellanikos [FGrHist 7, .-.a, 9)(a, 978a, 9+;a], as the first of them!) [Pherekydes, FGrHist .; Akusilaos, FGrHist -]; and a late mythographic compilation [the Bibliotheca of Apollodoros]; three books about the history of Sicily [Antiochos, FGrHist 888; Philistos, FGrHist 889; Timaios, FGrHist 899]; three Ἑλληνικά [Hellēnika ]: Ephoros, FGrHist ;); Theopompos, FGrHist ((8; Phylarchos, FGrHist +(]; Atthidographers [FGrHist .-.; .-8; .-7; .-;; .-+; ..7]. And to conclude the chaos, as an appendix the Marmor Parium [FGrHist -.&] and the Rosetta Stone. - Felix Jacoby boundaries of the separate books are not useful and are usually wrongly determined; the ordering of the authors is often arbitrary and breaks up the principle of arrangement or is simply erroneous, as for example when Asklepiades of Tragilos [ FGrHist (-] appears among five namesakes in Book 9, which contains the writers ‘from the fall of Corinth to Caesar Augustus’; or when Euphantos of Olynthos [FGrHist ;7] is placed in the epoch, itself poorly chosen, -7;–(79 BC . Anyone who wants to read the writers about (; Persia will find most of them in Volume II, but in various places [ FGrHist 9+)–9&9]; one is in Volume IV (Baton of Sinope [ FGrHist -9+]); Ktesias [ FGrHist 9++] is wholly missing: one must seek him out in a strange union with Eratosthenes [ FGrHist -7(] in the appendix to another publication. And again, the historians of Alexander are in yet another, as if they did not belong to the historians at all. The Principle of a New Collection For me, who for many years have been at work on the collecting and re-editing of the fragments of the historians, and who because of the size of the project will still be long engaged on it before publication can be considered, the question naturally arose as I was beginning to collect the material: how could one finally group in a clear and scientific manner the profusion of names, which often in effect are only names? To discover a principle that would unite these two virtues appeared to me, even more clearly the longer I considered

    E. BADIAN TWO POSTSCRIPTS ON THE MARRIAGE OF PHILA AND BALACRUS aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 73 (1988) 116–118 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 116 TWO POSTSCRIPTS ON THE MARRIAGE OF PHILA AND BALACRUS Waldemar Heckel (ZPE 70,1987,161-2) has done a service to prosopography of Alexander and the Diadochoi by his acute demonstration that the marriage of Phila and Balacrus, Alexander's satrap of Cilicia, must be accepted as historical fact. In view of the inadequacy of our source for the connection (the writer of romance, Antonius Diogenes, as recorded by Photius), it had been inconclusively discussed ever since Droysen first accepted it and then changed his mind about it.1) The dedication by an Antipater son of "Balagros" indeed establishes the fact. There is perhaps slight further confirmation for the identification discovered by Heckel in the spelling of "Balagros": the inscription coincides with Photius in this detail, and the spelling is a very rare variant.2) a.) Heckel should not, however, be followed in his acceptance of the authenticity of the letter cited by the Greek novelist. His statement that Photius "preserves, on the testimony of Antonius Diogenes, the details of a letter ..." is followed by his use of the letter in order to show that Phila cannot have been with her husband when he cook over the satrapy of Cilicia, since he still wrote to her from Tyre. In fact, there cannot be any doubt that the letter is fictitious: it pro- vides the setting for Diogenes' romance and the details are historically worthless.

  • Perceptions of the Ancient Jews As a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    Perceptions of the Ancient Jews as a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds By Keaton Arksey A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by Keaton Arksey Abstract The question of what made one Jewish in the ancient world remains a fraught topic for scholars. The current communis opinio is that Jewish communities had more in common with the Greeks and Romans than previously thought. Throughout the Diaspora, Jewish communities struggled with how to live amongst their Greco-Roman majority while continuing to practise their faith and thereby remain identifiably ‘Jewish’. To describe a unified Jewish identity in the Mediterranean in the period between 200 BCE and 200 CE is incorrect, since each Jewish community approached its identity in unique ways. These varied on the basis of time, place, and how the non-Jewish population reacted to the Jews and interpreted Judaism. This thesis examines the three major centres of Jewish life in the ancient world - Rome, Alexandria in Egypt, and Judaea - demonstrate that Jewish identity was remarkably and surprisingly fluid. By examining the available Jewish, Roman, and Greek literary and archaeological sources, one can learn how Jewish identity evolved in the Greco-Roman world. The Jews interacted with non-Jews daily, and adapted their neighbours’ practices while retaining what they considered a distinctive Jewish identity. Each chapter of this thesis examines a Jewish community in a different region of the ancient Mediterranean.

This paper offers a case study that questions this position's validity: an examination of Sallust's Epistula Mithridatis (Hist. 4.69M) and Pompeius Trogus' speech of Mithridates (Justin 38.4-7). I argue that Sallust offers a more powerful attack on Roman foreign policy than does Trogus, whom many scholars have deemed "anti-Roman," and conclude that Roman historiansare capable of using

  • PHILOCLES of SIDON REVISITED Since the Publication Some Years
    A PHOENICIAN KING IN THE SERVICE OF THE PTOLEMIES: PHILOCLES OF SIDON REVISITED Since the publication some years ago of the present author’s paper on king Philocles of Sidon1, several related studies have appeared2, which prompt some reflection and updating. Phoenician by birth and Greek by culture, the Sidonian ruler was vested by the first two Ptolemies with far-reaching military, diplomatic and administrative powers. As far as we can infer from the scattered (almost exclusively epigraphical) evidence, Philocles’ career covered at least three decades, from about 3103 to ca. 279/8 BC. Embracing, as it seems, the Aegean as well as the Eastern Mediterranean, his high command can be envisaged as a plenipotentiary generalship or even as a kind of viceroy- ship of the North4. Polyaenus (III 16), the only literary source in which he appears, styles him ‘strategos’, whereas in official, epigraphical documents, the title, when mentioned, is always the by far more prestigious ‘King of the Sido- nians’. As a matter of fact Philocles must have had some fleet squadrons 1 H. HAUBEN, Philocles, King of the Sidonians and General of the Ptolemies, in E.

Anadolu’da kurulan bu satraplıklardan birisi de Kilikia Satraplığı’dır. İlk dönemlerde Kilikia’nın yönetimi doğrudan Pers kökenli valiler yerine, daha önce de bölgenin yönetimini elinde bulunduran Syennesis unvanlı yerel krallara bırakılmıştır. Bu yerel krallar aynı zamanda satraplık yetkisine de sahiptirler. Söz konusu bu durum satraplığın ayrıcalıklı bir statüye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Syennenis hanedanlığının bu statüyü kullanarak uyguladığı çıkarcı politikaları, egemenlik sınırlarının genişlemesini sağlamıştır. Ancak bir süre sonra Pers Büyük Kralı, Syennessis hanedanlığının çıkarcı politikaları sebebiyle, Kilikia’ya doğrudan Pers kökenli satrapları görevlendirmiştir. Büyük İskender’in egemenliği ile birlikte ise Pers satraplık sistemi devam etmiş; Balakros Kilikia Satraplığı’na atanmıştır.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract In my thesis I examine certain aspects of the political history of Athens in the early Hellenistic period, that is after the battle of Chaironeia in 338 B.C. and until the late 260s. For Athens this was a transitional period; she had to face a completely new political reality: she was no longer the great power of the fifth or even the fourth century B.C., Macedonia rose to power, then Alexander created a huge empire and his death triggered endless struggles for power among his Successors, in which Athens found herself involved. Independent foreign policy then on the part of Athens was impossible; on the other hand, diplomacy became more delicate and demanding than ever. I focus on the ways in which the Athenian leadership (the generals and the orators) adjusted to the circumstances. Firstly, I have examined the role of the generals in diplomacy in order to establish that they did assume increased responsibilities.
