To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.'

Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added.

PBOM THE BATTLE OF IVIAEATHON TO THE PEACE OF NIKIAS. B.C. 490-421. I HAD reckoned upon carrying my readers in these two volumes down to the commencement of the great Athenian expedition against Syracuse. But the narration of events, now that we are under the positive guidance of Thucydides, — coupled with the exposi- tion of some points on which I differ from the views generally taken by my predecessors, — have occupied greater space than I had foreseen : and I have been obliged to enlarge my Sixth Volume beyond the usual size, in order to arrive even at the Peace of Nikias. The interval of disturbance and partial hostility, which ensued between that peace and the Athenian expedition, will therefore be reserved for the beginning of my S^enth Vol- ume, the publication of which wiU not be long delayed.

But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League.

  • "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic
    176 ON THE RELATIONS OF CANAANITE EXPLORATION These inecriptions, and the bas-reliefs on the monument called Kamna Hurmill, in Crelo-Syria, near the source of the Orontes, and possibly of the same pe1·iod, are an enigma, as yet, to the most learned Orientaliots. It is to be hoped, however, now that attention is again called to the subject, that the clue may be found that shall unlock their meaning, and that Northern 8yI"ia will be no longer overlooked by tho explorer. DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.

  • The Dependent Polis: Further Considerations, in Response to Pierre Fröhlich Mogens Herman Hansen
    The Dependent Polis: Further Considerations, in Response to Pierre Fröhlich Mogens Herman Hansen N 2010 Pierre Fröhlich published a very long and im- portant assessment of the work of the Copenhagen Polis Centre,1 and specifically of its principal publication, An I 2 Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis (Oxford 1994). It is the most thorough and in-depth analysis of our project I have seen, and there are several of his perspicacious observations I would like to take up; but here I focus on his critique of the concept of the dependent polis (645 and 660–667) which is absolutely cen- tral to the whole polis project. Fröhlich opens his account with an agreement: “Un des mérites des travaux du Centre est d’avoir montré que l’asso- ciation systématique de la notion de cité avec celle d’indépen- dance au sens moderne du mot aboutissait à des apories, dans la mesure où un très grand nombre de cités devraient alors perdre ce statut, ainsi celles qui étaient incluses dans la Ligue de Délos, celles qui vivaient sous la domination perse, etc. … Hansen a englobé tous ces examples sous un même concept et en à tiré une typologie de 15 différents types de poleis dépen- dantes. Mais il reconnaît que ce concept est ‘très complexe’ et qu’il y a de grandes différences entre les cas recensés” (660– 661). Fröhlich’s inference, however, from the many different types 1 RHist 655 (2010) 637–677. 2 Hereafter abbreviated Inventory.

AUTHOR OF MODERN AND ANTJENT GEOGRAPHY FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. STEREOTYPED BY J. HOWE. PHILADELPHIA: BLANQHARD AND LEA. 1851. G- PREFATORY NOTE INDEX OF DR. BUTLER'S ANTIENT ATLAS. It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous.

  • Becoming Macedonian: Name Mapping and Ethnic Identity. the Case of Hephaistion*
    Karanos 3, 2020 11-37 Becoming Macedonian: Name Mapping and Ethnic Identity. The Case of Hephaistion* by Jeanne Reames University of Nebraska at Omaha [email protected] With the Digital Assistance of Jason Heppler and Cory Starman ABSTRACT An epigraphical survey (with digital mapping component) of Greece and Magna Graecia reveals a pattern as to where Hephais-based names appear, up through the second century BCE. Spelled with an /eta/, these names are almost exclusively Attic-Ionian, while Haphēs-based names, spelled with an alpha, are Doric-Aeolian, and much fewer in number. There is virtually no overlap, except at the Panhellenic site of Delphi, and in a few colonies around the Black Sea. Furthermore, cult for the god Hephaistos –long recognized as a non-Greek borrowing– was popular primarily in Attic-Ionian and “Pelasgian” regions, precisely the same areas where we find Hephais-root names. The only area where Haphēs-based names appear in any quantity, Boeotia, also had an important cult related to the god. Otherwise, Hephaistos was not a terribly important deity in Doric-Aeolian populations. This epigraphic (and religious) record calls into question the assumed Macedonian ethnicity of the king’s best friend and alter-ego, Hephaistion. According to Tataki, Macedonian naming patterns followed distinctively non-Attic patterns, and cult for the god Hephaistos is absent in Macedonia (outside Samothrace). A recently published 4th century curse tablet from Pydna could, however, provide a clue as to why a Macedonian Companion had such a uniquely Attic-Ionian name. If Hephaistion’s ancestry was not, in fact, ethnically Macedonian, this may offer us an interesting insight into fluidity of Macedonian identity under the monarchy, and thereby, to ancient conceptualizations of ethnicity more broadly.

His subject deals with a composite figure of history and legend from both the classical and Oriental worlds. His immediate source is a twelfth-century Latin text, the Alexandre is of Gautier de Ghfitillon; many non-historical aspects come from the Old French poem, Le roman d'Alexandre; and some fantastic episodes correspond to those found in an Arabic version of the exemplar hero, Dulcamain. This study is primarily an investigation of the craftsmanship of the unknown poet of the Osuna (or 0) manuscript. This thirteenth- century manuscript and the later Paris manuscript of the fifteenth century were examined to determine which of the two was artistically superior; Professor Raymond S. Willis1 paleographic edition of 19 3h was used for the comparison,^ The preference for 0 is based on obser­ vations that, although both 0 and P show a refinement of style remark­ able at such an early date in Spanish literature, 0 consistently demon­ strates a greater sensitivity to sound for euphonic, structural, and suggestive purposes.

Highfill To Ela, my wife, and my son, Cem, for being there and helping me through. ii Acknowledgements I could not have gotten this far, or even embarked on this journey, without the friendship and support of many people. First, I would like to thank the members of my doctoral committee. Their trust and support throughout the writing process has eased the struggle with the blank page. Thank you, Cristina Moreiras-Menor, for being such an exceptional adviser and mentor and being always there—through time and space, nudging me in the right direction, going above and beyond the expected. I can simply not express in words my gratitude for inspiring me to be the scholar I am. Giorgio Bertellini, thank you for the openness and collegiality with which you embarked onto this project, to help me wade the murky waters of Neorealism in Spain, and to hearten my fondness for the archive. Thanks also to Juli Highfill for the sharpness of her feedback, and her relentless tachado, removing from my writing the unnecessary, and to Eric Calderwood, for his keen contributions, and his valuable insights into my writings. I have been very fortunate to share the last few years with my friends and colleagues at the University of Michigan, who have become part of my life, and my extended family in the US.
