Theopompus's Philippica
chapter five Theopompus’s Philippica heopompus of Chios (FGrHist 115) was widely renowned in antiq- T uity for the severity with which he condemned the moral faults of the characters peopling his Philippica. Few indeed escaped the scathing vigor of his pen. Despite his family’s exile from Chios, Theopompus seems to have had the necessary funds to carry out thorough research (TT 20 and 28,FF25, 26 and 181) and did not have to work for a living, but was able to devote himself wholly to his writing.1 Because he was in no need of either patronage or an income, he had the freedom to write whatever he pleased without risk of losing his livelihood by causing offense. It is per- haps for this reason that he was known in antiquity as “a lover of the truth” (φιλαληθης )(T28). We must now determine whether or not this epithet was justified in Theopompus’s use of the past in the Philippica. In addition to his numerous epideictic speeches, Theopompus wrote three known historical works: an epitome of Herodotus, a Hellenica, and a Philippica.2 It is likely the epitome of Herodotus was Theopompus’s earliest 1. A recent discussion of the (very vague and contradictory) evidence for Theopompus’s life can be found in Michael Attyah Flower, Theopompus of Chios: History and Rhetoric in the Fourth Century BC (Oxford: Clarendon, 1994), 11–25. 2. Suda, s.v. Θε π µπ ς ι ς ρ ητωρ (ϭ T 1). 143 144 lessons from the past historical work,3 but all that remains of it is an entry in the Suda stating it contained two books (T 1) and four attributed fragments from ancient lexica giving it as the authority for the use of specific words (FF 1–4), although the possibility exists that some other, unattributed fragments may belong to it also. -
Aigina and the Naval Strategy of the Late Fifth and Early Fourth Centuries
Methodisches zum antiken Atheismus 15 der Atheistenkataloge (s. Anm. 6), (c) eine kommentierte kritische Ausgabe des Diagoras und des Theodoros, die für (i1'tEOL Km' E!;OX'rlV gehalten wurden (s.

Ferner müßte untersucht werden, in welcher Bedeutung die Wörter (i1'tEO~ - a1'tE6'tT]~ und aOEßTJ~ - aOEßELu - aOEßTHw - aOEßELv in der griechischen Literatur bis zum Ende der Antike verwendet wurden. Erst dann besitzt man eine Grundlage für die Abfassung einer neuen kritischen Geschichte des Atheismus, die sich auf antike Quellen stützen und die oben erwähnten methodischen Postulate berücksichtigen wird.

AIGINA AND THE NAVAL STRATEGY OF THE LATE FIFTH AND EARLY FOURTH CENTURIES The following investigation examines the role which the is land of Aigina played in the struggle for naval hegemony between Athens and Sparta and offers insights both into techniques of war fare and into the balance of power at sea in the western Aegean. One important result of such an examination is the application to the classical period of the classification of Mediterranean naval warfare conducted by rowed ships into two discrete patterns, fleet operations and A!lG'tELU by small groups of ships. The general mili tary situation of Athens and Sparta and the political techniques available to either city for making use of their resources and for exploiting the weaknesses of their adversary affected the viability of fleet operations and raiding, the two modes of aggression. -

Citations in Classics and Ancient History
Citations in Classics and Ancient History The most common style in use in the field of Classical Studies is the author-date style, also known as Chicago 2, but MLA is also quite common and perfectly acceptable. Quick guides for each of MLA and Chicago 2 are readily available as PDF downloads. The Chicago Manual of Style Online offers a guide on their web-page: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not, but many educational institutions post an MLA guide for free access. While a specific citation style should be followed carefully, none take into account the specific practices of Classical Studies. They are all (Chicago, MLA and others) perfectly suitable for citing most resources, but should not be followed for citing ancient Greek and Latin primary source material, including primary sources in translation. Citing Primary Sources: Every ancient text has its own unique system for locating content by numbers. For example, Homer's Iliad is divided into 24 Books (what we might now call chapters) and the lines of each Book are numbered from line 1. Herodotus' Histories is divided into nine Books and each of these Books is divided into Chapters and each chapter into line numbers. The purpose of such a system is that the Iliad, or any primary source, can be cited in any language and from any publication and always refer to the same passage. That is why we do not cite Herodotus page 66. Page 66 in what publication, in what edition? Very early in your textbook, Apodexis Historia, a passage from Herodotus is reproduced. -

The Chabrias Monument in the Athenian Agora
THE CHABRIAS MONUMENT IN THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 11-12) JN Hesperia,IX, 1940, pp. 314-320, Eugene Schweigertpublished some fragments of an inscribed statue base (Agora I 994 and related stones) with a reconstruction and a brief commentary. Since that time other fragments have been found, one of which makes the original restoration impossible, and in the course of a consequent reexamination of all the pieces some new relationships have been established which dictate a new form for the monument (P1. 12).' Schweigert's publication included eleven fragments (A-K), to which can now be added the more recent discoveries as well as several fragments known earlier but not used in the original reconstruction. To avoid undue confusion the letters first used to designate fragments have been retained wherever possible, and the alphabetical series has been continued to include the additional pieces.2 Fragment A: three joining fragments preserving the inscribed face with three lines and part of a wreath and the original smooth-pickedtop; found April 21, 1936, in a modern wall over the southern part of the Late Roman Gymnasium complex (M 14). Height, 0.205 m.; width, 0.65 m.; thickness, 0.088 m.; height of letters, ca. 0.013 m. Inv. no. I 994 f. Fragment B: four joining fragments preserving a part of two finished faces, all with bits of wreath, no letters; small fragment from forward face found May 19, 1953, in a Turkish well west of the East Stoa (O 14); central fragment from left face found August 1, 1959, in a marble pile south of the Odeion (M 14); finding places of other fragments not recorded. -

The Assyrians
#3565 TTHHEE AASSSSYYRRIIAANNSS #3633 THE MACEDONIANS #3664 THE SPARTANS Grade Levels: 8-13+ 26 minutes AMBROSE VIDEO PUBLISHING 1998 DESCRIPTION ASSYRIANS The ancient Assyrians' greatest power and dominance lasted from 745-612 B.C. Ruthless, cruel warriors, their skill and organization at war was unmatched. When king Tiglath-pileser established a standing army, their kingdom began to expand. Uses the defeat of Elam in 655 B.C. and siege of Jerusalem in 701 B.C. to illustrate their battles, weapons, and strategies. Macedonians By 338 B.C., Philip II of Macedonia created an army of fearsome reputation as he forged his empire. His phalanxes of infantry and cavalry were refined by his son Alexander the Great. Reenactments, graphics, and artifacts illustrate battle strategies. Follows a typical soldier's training, weapons, and life. The siege and defeat of Tyre captures the Macedonians' determination to win. Spartans The ancient Greek city-state Sparta lived its life as an armed camp, training its men from birth to become fierce soldiers. Depicts the life of a typical Spartan soldier--training, clothing, everyday life, weapons, armor, and barracks life. The battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C. serves as an example of Spartan philosophy and battle strategy--hardship willingly endured against impossible odds. Some live action, graphics, and artifacts add flavor. 1 Captioned Media Program VOICE 800-237-6213 – TTY 800-237-6819 – FAX 800-538-5636 – WEB www.cfv.org Funding for the Captioned Media Program is provided by the U.

Rethinking Athenian Democracy.Pdf
Rethinking Athenian Democracy A dissertation presented by Daniela Louise Cammack to The Department of Government in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Political Science Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts January 2013 © 2013 Daniela Cammack All rights reserved. Professor Richard Tuck Daniela Cammack Abstract Conventional accounts of classical Athenian democracy represent the assembly as the primary democratic institution in the Athenian political system. This looks reasonable in the light of modern democracy, which has typically developed through the democratization of legislative assemblies. Yet it conflicts with the evidence at our disposal. Our ancient sources suggest that the most significant and distinctively democratic institution in Athens was the courts, where decisions were made by large panels of randomly selected ordinary citizens with no possibility of appeal. This dissertation reinterprets Athenian democracy as “dikastic democracy” (from the Greek dikastēs, “judge”), defined as a mode of government in which ordinary citizens rule principally through their control of the administration of justice. It begins by casting doubt on two major planks in the modern interpretation of Athenian democracy: first, that it rested on a conception of the “wisdom of the multitude” akin to that advanced by epistemic democrats today, and second that it was “deliberative,” meaning that mass discussion of political matters played a defining role. The first plank rests largely on an argument made by Aristotle in support of mass political participation, which I show has been comprehensively misunderstood. The second rests on the interpretation of the verb “bouleuomai” as indicating speech, but I suggest that it meant internal reflection in both the courts and the assembly. -
The Hecate of the Theogony Jenny Strauss Clay
STRAUSS CALY, JENNY, The Hecate of the "Theogony" , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 25:1 (1984) p.27 The Hecate of the Theogony Jenny Strauss Clay EAR THE MIDDLE of the Theogony, Hesiod appears to drop N everything in order to launch into an extended encomium of Hecate (411-52). Because of its length and apparent lack of integration into its context, but above all because of the peculiar terms of praise reserved for the goddess, the so-called "Hymn to Hecate" has often been dismissed as an intrusion into the Hesiodic text.l To be sure, voices have also been raised in defense,2 and, at present, the passage stands unbracketed in the editions of Mazon, Solmsen, and West.3 But questions remain even if the authenticity of the lines is acknowledged. Why does Hesiod devote so much space to so minor a deity? What is the origin and function of Hesiod's Hecate, and what role does she play in the poem ?4 1 Most notably by U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff, Der Glaube der Hellenen I (Berlin 1931) 172. Wilamowitz is followed by M. P. Nilsson, Geschichte der griechischen Re/igion 3 I (Munich 1969) 723. Condemnation is fairly universal among earlier editors. Cf 0.

This is particular ly true for the classical period wnere the sources are few and scattered. For the archaic period the situation has been somewhat better. One of the first attempts toward the study of Corinthian 1 history was made in 1876 by Ernst Curtius. This brief art icle had no pretensions to a thorough investigation of the subject, merely suggesting lines of inquiry and stressing the importance of numisihatic evidence. A contribution of 2 similar score was undertaken by Erich Wilisch in a brief discussion suggesting some of the problems and possible solutions. This was followed by a second brief discussion 3 by the same author. -
