Ασία URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=9946> Περίληψη : Pharnabazus II (c. 450‑373 BC), was satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia and one of the protagonists in the Greco‑Persian wars fought for the control of Asia Minor. He fought against the Athenians (411‑407 BC) during the Ionian War and against the Spartans under Dercylidas and Agesilaus (399‑393 BC). He defeated the Spartans in the sea battle at Cnidus (394 BC) and paved the way for Persian ascendancy in Asia Minor. He later led two abortive campaigns in Egypt. Τόπος και Χρόνος Γέννησης Between 450 and 445 BC Τόπος και Χρόνος Θανάτου c. 373 BC Κύρια Ιδιότητα Satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia 1. Family Pharnabazus was an official of royal descent in the Achaemenid Empire.1His birth is dated to before 444 BC.2 Between 414 and 412 BC he inherited the office of satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia from his father Pharnaces II.3 He had a legitimate brother, whose name is unattested,4 while another, illegitimate, brother and his uncle, Susamithras, are also mentioned.5 He was married to Apame (387 BC),6 daughter of king Artaxerxes II (404-351 BC) and had three sons: Artabazus III,7 later satrap of Phrygia (362-330 BC), Oxythres and Dibictus.8 His heir, Ariobarzanes (387-362 BC) belonged to the same family; it is unclear, however, whether he was his legitimate brother or an older legitimate son from an unknown spouse.9 He also had an illegitimate son by one Parapita.10 His family controlled estates around Dascylium, where he had his palace on a naturally fortified position, surrounded by hamlets and paradises. 2. Deeds Since 413 BC, Pharnabazus has participated in Darius II’s (423-404 BC) efforts to re-annex the coastal areas of Asia Minor to the Achaemenid Empire and make them pay tribute. He formed an alliance with the Spartans and was active against the Athenians during the Ionian War (412-405 BC) launching military operations in the Hellespont. His successive defeats at the hands of the Athenians and Alcibiades forced him to come to terms, but the settlement was annulled by Cyrus the younger, who arrived in Asia Minor in 407 BC as karanos.11 In 405 BC, taking advantage of the power vacuum in Asia Minor following the defeat of the Athenians, he captured areas on the borders of his realm with Phrygia, where he installed exiles from Miletus.12 In 404 BC he warned the legitimate king Artaxerxes II of Cyrus’plans to rebel. Cyrus drove him out of his satrapy in 401 BC.13 In that year Pharnabazus sided with Artaxerxes at the Battle of Cunaxa, and soon after, as a satrap again with increased powers extending to the borders of Pisidia, he repeatedly faced the mercenary force of the Ten Thousand.14 During the war between Sparta and Persia he bore most of the brunt of Spartan military operations. Dercylidas was the first to launch a campaign against him; Pharnabazus managed to negotiate truce in two consecutive occasions (in 399 and 398 BC), but could not avoid the loss of Aeolis. Soon after (397-395 BC), independently and sometimes in cooperation with Tissaphernes (his superior and satrap of Lydia) he faced Agesilaus, who had allied himself with the defector Spithridates and the Paphlagonian ruler Otys; Agesilaus repeatedly invaded Pharnabazus’realm and sacked Dascyleum. Ultimately, he failed to inflict a decisive defeat on his opponent, and an understanding was reached.15 By lavishing bribes on politicians, Pharnabazus managed to turn the Greek cities against Sparta and incited the Δημιουργήθηκε στις 29/9/2021 Σελίδα 1/6 IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Παλαιοθόδωρος Δημήτρης Μετάφραση : Κούτρας Νικόλαος Για παραπομπή : Παλαιοθόδωρος Δημήτρης , "Pharnabazus", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Μ. Ασία URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=9946> Corinthian War (395 BC).16 He restored his rule over Aeolis and, in cooperation with Conon and the Athenians, he rebuilt the Persian fleet and won a decisive victory over the Spartans in the naval battle of Cnidus in 394 BC, although he failed to capture the cities of Abydus and Sestus.17 In the following year he launched a campaign in Laconia. He continued to fight alongside his allies, the Athenians, until he was recalled to Susa in 388 BC, where he got married to Apame. The sources describe this recall as a promotion, but attribute his removal from Asia Minor to Artaxerxes’spectacular change of policy in favour of Sparta and Antalcidas.18 Pharnabazus also led two of Artaxerxes’abortive campaigns against Egypt in 386-383 and in 374-373 BC. He was recalled in 373 BC and replaced by Datames. He probably passed away soon after, for there is no subsequent mention of his name.19 3. Assessment Pharnabazus, the most actively engaged in Greek affairs Persian of his era, was seen as the quintessential Oriental despot, totally given to luxuriousness. The difficulties one faced when seeking an audience with him had become proverbial.20 Various judgements are made about him in the sources: Xenophon and Plutarch depict him as a loyal and brave warrior, but also a competent statesman and diplomat. Other sources, though, emphasize his greediness, the facility with which he resorted to bribery and intrigue to deal with his adversaries, his envy of the Greeks and his famous grudges. His is charged with the murder of Alcibiades, his adversary in the Ionian War, who was a guest in his realm (404 BC). He clashed with Iphicrates over the supreme command of the Egyptian campaign, while his well-known antagonism with Dercylidas and Lysander led to the latter’s falling into disfavour at Sparta.21 At any rate, he maintained excellent relations with most of his Greek allies, especially with the Spartan Mindarus during the Ionian War and with the Athenian Conon during the war between Persia and Sparta. The fact that he also cooperated and maintained friendly relations with the Syracusan Hermocrates, who was himself exiled and found himself with no ships after the destruction of the Peloponnesian fleet at the battle of Cyzicus (410 BC), reveals a certain disinterestedness.22 The willingness of the cities of the Hellespont to defect from Athens, the removal of Lysander by the Spartans following his request, his reluctance to install Persian garrisons and the constant support he offered to his friends and allies, often in contravention of official Persian policy, reveal that Pharnaces had earned the trust of his allies and his Greek subjects. His political acumen and his military and diplomatic skills are beyond doubt. Among his greatest virtues was his ability to vigorously support his policies with all available means and the facility with which he inspired confidence in his interlocutors. He passionately supported Darius II’s anti-Athenian policy, until he foresaw it would lead to an impasse. He remained loyal to Darius’heir Artaxerxes II in a critical time of great upheavals in the empire (401 BC). On a number of occasions he was forced to come to terms with Greek generals in order to secure his position, and was willing to pay great sums to this end. He managed, however, to foresee the dangers behind Sparta’s and Lysander’s hegemonic stance, and succeeded in eliminating him politically. Pharnabazus was the first one to realize the necessity of launching a Persian offensive at sea and on Greek soil in order to eradicate the danger posed by Agesilaus. By entering into an alliance with Athens and Conon he managed to thwart this threat by leading the Persian fleet into the Aegean and penetrating as far as the shores of Laconia, for the first time after the Battle of Salamis (449 BC) at Cyprus. He was in fact the main architect of Persian ascendancy over Asia Minor and the Aegean following the Peace of Antalcidas (387 BC).23 On internal front he not only managed to retain his realm intact notwithstanding recurrent raids, but succeeded in increasing it spectacularly, by expanding the borders of his satrapy to the north edges of Aeolis and Troas, thanks to the mercenary army of Zenis and Mania. His satrapy was organized like a miniature kingdom; it was subdivided into smaller fiefdoms or ‘satrapies’, like those of Zenio and Mania at Troas and of Ratines in the Gordium24 area, which he used to launch recurrent raids into Pisidia, Mysia, Bithynia and Paphlagonia.25 He frequently used Greeks who were guests in his court as agents to further his policies, mainly prominent statesmen, like Apollophanes of Cyzicus, who intervened in his dispute with Agesilaus, or exiles, like the members of the embassies he sent in 412 BC to Sparta. Apparently he could speak Greek, if it is true that his celebrated discussion with Agesilaus took place without the aid of interpreters. This would be perfectly normal for the scion of a noble family installed in the Hellespont area for several decades. On the contrary, his relations with the Persian officials were not exceptional. There was constant antagonism between him and Tissaphernes. It is clear that Cyrus’mission in 407 BC is connected with the inability of the two satraps to join forces against the common threat posed by the Athenians.26 This rivalry intensified during the war against Sparta. Eventually, Pharnabazus’intercession with Artaxerxes II at Susa in 398/397 BC and his complaints against Tissaphernes marked the beginning of the end for the satrap of Lydia.27 Δημιουργήθηκε στις 29/9/2021 Σελίδα 2/6 IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Παλαιοθόδωρος Δημήτρης Μετάφραση : Κούτρας Νικόλαος Για παραπομπή : Παλαιοθόδωρος Δημήτρης , "Pharnabazus", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Μ.

The daily course of the sun, its brilliance and heat, and the passing of the seasons are among the central problems that have concerned every human society. Undoubtedly, the appearance of a comet or a shooting star, the passing phenomena of clouds and rain and lightning, the Milky Way, the changing phases of the moon and the eclipses—all of these must have caused quite a sense of wonder and been the source of endless discussions. Faced with this confusing multiplicity of brute facts, beyond their physical power to control, our ancestors sought to master these unrelated phenomena symbolically by picturing the universe in terms of objects familiar to them so as to make clear the unfamiliar and the unexplained.

  • Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta
    Female Property Ownership and Status in Classical and Hellenistic Sparta Stephen Hodkinson University of Manchester 1. Introduction The image of the liberated Spartiate woman, exempt from (at least some of) the social and behavioral controls which circumscribed the lives of her counterparts in other Greek poleis, has excited or horrified the imagination of commentators both ancient and modern.1 This image of liberation has sometimes carried with it the idea that women in Sparta exercised an unaccustomed influence over both domestic and political affairs.2 The source of that influence is ascribed by certain ancient writers, such as Euripides (Andromache 147-53, 211) and Aristotle (Politics 1269b12-1270a34), to female control over significant amounts of property. The male-centered perspectives of ancient writers, along with the well-known phenomenon of the “Spartan mirage” (the compound of distorted reality and sheer imaginative fiction regarding the character of Spartan society which is reflected in our overwhelmingly non-Spartan sources) mean that we must treat ancient images of women with caution. Nevertheless, ancient perceptions of their position as significant holders of property have been affirmed in recent modern studies.3 The issue at the heart of my paper is to what extent female property-holding really did translate into enhanced status and influence. In Sections 2-4 of this paper I shall approach this question from three main angles. What was the status of female possession of property, and what power did women have directly to manage and make use of their property? What impact did actual or potential ownership of property by Spartiate women have upon their status and influence? And what role did female property-ownership and status, as a collective phenomenon, play within the crisis of Spartiate society? First, however, in view of the inter-disciplinary audience of this volume, it is necessary to a give a brief outline of the historical context of my discussion.

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.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.
