Gómez Espelosín, En busca de Alejandro: historia de una obsesión 142-143 by A. I. MOLINA MARÍN Karanos 1, 2018 5-6 E DITORIAL To launch a new journal is never an easy task. Given the wealth of digital journals on Antiquity available today, what is the point of creating another one? This question, along with many others, will have occurred to anyone who has ever entertained the notion of becoming a journal editor. The case of Karanos is no different in this regard. For over a year now, the editorial board has been puzzling over such questions until, finally, we decided to start work on Karanos. The reason for putting our doubts aside is a simple one: to date, there is no journal in existence that focuses exclusively on the field of the Ancient Macedonian Studies. This is indeed a powerful argument for launching Karanos, as there is a gap that needs to be filled. It also explains the international flavour of Karanos: although based in Spain, as part of the catalogue of journals published by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, the aim is for it to be international in scope, for which reason its main language is English, while accepting papers for publication that are written in French, Italian or Modern Greek, as well as in Spanish and, of course, English. It is true that the historical notion of Macedonia could be regarded as too specific to make up a journal’s whole area of study. The kingdom of Macedonia was a geographic and political entity with its own socio-cultural peculiarities that continued to function in an area of the Balkans (whose size varied over time) for several centuries in the first millennium B.C. However, the Ancient Macedonian Studies are assumed to transcend the limits of the historical entity known as Macedonia, encompassing each of the various historical, archaeological and cultural features of Ancient Macedonia, whether these pertain directly to the Argead Kingdom or to any of its subsequent manifestations in the context of the Hellenistic kingdoms, as the Roman province of Macedonia. Therefore, Karanos has a place for historical and cultural studies and epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological analyses, when these are of a certain standard and could have a notable impact on historical research within the journal's area of focus. In fact, the journal starts out with the aim of proving that the Ancient Macedonian Studies involve rather more than just the figure of Alexander the Great and that, ultimately, he himself can only be understood within the Macedonian context. Besides its editors, Karanos is backed by a top-flight group of international researchers from various disciplines, whose guidance and support have helped to make its appearance possible. Regarding the structure of Karanos, which will appear once a year, it has four clearly defined sections. The first of these is the “Papers” section, devoted to original studies or discussions on topics within the scope of the journal which make a contribution to our field of study. The second, called "Flashbacks", recovers studies that have already been published but are not readily accessible, or which continue to be of interest and considerable value to today's researchers. For its third section, Karanos opts for interviews, under the title "Main Voices in Ancient Macedonian Studies". It will provide the academic community with an opportunity to benefit from the experience of leading researchers in our field: as told in their own voices in a congenial, personal eISSN: 2604-3521 ISSN: 2604-6199 EDITORIAL tone. In this first issue, we have the honour of interviewing William Greenwalt, whose studies on the religious aspects of Macedonia, among others, have inspired several generations of researchers. Lastly, Karanos includes a brief section for reviewing relatively recent studies that are of interest or could have a notable impact on our field. One main feature of Karanos, in a time of consciousness and the aim of change, is related to our policy about referees. In order to support a Gender-friendly peer-review policy, avoiding preponderances of male reviewers, Karanos uses to keep Gender equality concerning the referee’s election of each paper. This is our little contribution to allow female researchers to be included in equality within the Ancient Macedonian Studies. As births are always special moments – even in the case of journals – we have decided to turn this first inaugural issue of Karanos into a tribute to the great A. B. Bosworth. His influence and, to a certain extent, his guidance, have been crucial to the work of all historians specialising in Ancient Macedonian Studies over the last few decades. The editorial board would like to thank Elizabeth Baynham for her backing. From the very beginning she has supported our plans to pay tribute to Bosworth and she has contributed to this issue with a brief biographical sketch of him. Also taking part in the tribute are such authors as Ogden, Palagia, Müller, Djurselv and Sierra, who, in this way, are also lending their support to the launch of the journal Karanos, which embarks on its journey as from the following pages.

  • How 'Great' Was Alexander?
    Historical Site of Mirhadi Hoseini http://m-hosseini.ir ……………………………………………………………………………………… IRANIAN HISTORY: POST-ACHAEMENIDS How ‘Great’ Was Alexander? By: Professor Ian Worthington1[1] (University of Missouri-Columbia) Why was Alexander II of Macedon called 'Great'? The answer seems relatively straightforward: from an early age he was an achiever, he conquered territories on a superhuman scale, he established an empire until his times unrivalled, and he died young, at the height of his power. Thus, at the youthful age of 20, in 336, he inherited the powerful empire of Macedon, which by then controlled Greece and had already started to make inroads into Asia. In 334 he invaded Persia, and within a decade he had defeated the Persians, subdued Egypt, and pushed on to Iran, Afghanistan and even India. As well as his vast conquests Alexander is credited with the spread of Greek culture and education in his empire, not to mention being responsible for the physical and cultural formation of the Hellenistic kingdoms — some would argue that the Hellenistic world was Alexander's legacy.[2[2]] He has also been viewed as a philosophical idealist, striving to create a unity of mankind by his so-called fusion of the races policy, in which he attempted to integrate Persians and Orientals into his administration and army. Thus, within a dozen years Alexander’s empire stretched from Greece in the west to India in the far east, and he was even worshipped as a god by many of his subjects while still alive. On the basis of his military conquests contemporary

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Page No.23 2. Customs of the Ancient Macedonians in Macedonian National Tradition Lidija Kovacheva Assistant Professor Classical (ancient) studies University EURO Balkan Skopje Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of ORCID iD: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1652-1460 URL: http://eurobalkan/academia.edu E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract: The impact of the methodological research of this paper is to highlight ancient Macedonian customs and their influence in the modern Republic of Macedonia. Rather than being altered, vestiges of the past are almost unchanged in some rural areas, as are Macedonian folk beliefs. Indigenous traditions of the ancient Macedonians abounded with numerous ritual activities, although to some extent correspond with the customs of other ancient peoples. However, these practices do have specific features that characterize the folk tradition of the ancient Macedonians interpreted and can be seen as guardians of the Macedonian identity. Although 2,000 years have passed from the ancient period to the present, and it is a bit hypothetical to interpret the rudiments of customs and celebrations from that time, we can allow ourselves to conclude that certain ritual actions from the ancient period, although modified, still largely correspond to the current Macedonian folk customs and beliefs, both in terms of the time of celebration and in terms of ritual actions, procedures and symbolism. Their continuity reflects the Macedonian identity, from antiquity to today.

January 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies at the International Hellenic University. The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.

    Lectures on Greek Poetry 1 2 ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY IN POZNAŃ CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY SERIES NO. 35 GERSON SCHADE Lectures on Greek Poetry POZNAŃ 2016 3 ABSTRACT. Gerson Schade, Lectures on Greek Poetry [Wykłady o poezji greckiej]. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. Poznań 2016. Pp. 226. Classical Philology Series No. 35. ISBN 978-83-232-3108-0. ISSN 0554-8160. Text in English with a summary in German. The series of lectures contained in this volume were written for students at Adam Mic- kiewicz University. A first group of these lectures are intended to serve as an introduc- tion to Greek poetry of the archaic, classical and pre-Hellenistic age. They treat a selection of texts, ranging from the eighth to the fourth century BC. A second group of these lec- tures focuses on Homer’s Iliad: while the whole work is treated, the lectures follow the story of Achilles, which is developed mainly in five books. All texts are provided in trans- lation, and secondary literature is discussed and used to make the texts more accessible for young students interested in poetry. The lectures introduce to some of the main issues that characterise the texts, such as their relationship to their primary audience, the impact of orality, and the influence of the eastern poetic tradition on the Greeks. Where appro- priate, the lectures also treat the interrelation between various texts, their intertextuality. They try to answer the questions of how poetry did work then, and why these texts do matter for the European poetic tradition.
