Ode 9 (10) Jebb, Bacchylides, 313-21, 476-80 In line 9 Blass supplies and Jebb accepts the dative for the Athenian of the tribe Oineis (lines 17-18) who ran two races in sequence (lines 19-26). The first was probably the stadion, and the second, being four stades long, perhaps was the hippios dromos. The name of the father may have been lost, or not included for metrical reasons. Commissioned by the brother-in-law (lines 9-10) for an unknown reason, the ode cannot be dated with certainty. A2. 'AKapvciv ...

Jeffery dates this dedication from Delphi to ca. 525-500. Daux's restoration of [TTu]0ta 1tp[G:n:oc,] presumably refers to a chariot victory. Thus with its first known member, this family was already hippotrophic. A's son, Kleinias I, was trierarch at his own expense at Artemisium (Hdt. 8.17; Plut. Ale. 1.1 ). His grandson (Alkibiades II Kleinoiu I) was a candidate for ostracism in the 480s (E. Vanderpool, 'The Ostracism of the Elder Alcibiades," Hesp. 21 (1951): 1-8). A4.

Moretti, Olym. no. 345; APF 600, biblio. p. 9, stemma Table I; J. Hatzfeld, Alcibiade, 2nd ed. (Paris, 1951), 130-41 Moretti and Davies discuss the confusing tradition on A's victories. He 196 APPENDIX B entered seven chariots at Olympia in 416 and came in first, second and fourth (Thuc. 6.16.2; Ath. 1.3e; Plut. Ale 11 ; Dem. 1.1 ). That he came in third rather than fourth is asserted by Euripides (Plut. Ale. 11) and accepted by Isocrates (16.34). Paintings by Aristophon and Aglaophon, commissioned by A. after his Olympic wins and displayed on the Acropolis, depicted him as a Pythian and Nemean victor (Plut. Ale. 16.7; Ath. 12.534d), leading Pausanias (1.22.7) to credit A. with a horserace win at Nemea. D. A. Amyx, "The Attic Stelai, Part III," Hesp. 27 (I 958) : 178-86, notes the listing of over 82 Panathenaic amphorae among what is likely to be A. 's property (see W. K. Pritchett, "The Attic Stelai, Part I," Hesp. 22 (I 953): 249, Stele II 21, 41-60), and suggests that A. won the Panathenaic chariot race in 418. A.'s father married into the Alkmeonidai and died early, leaving A. to become the ward of Pericles (Ps. Pl. Ale. 1.104b; Pl. Prt. 320a). A. himself married Hipparete I daughter of Hipponikos II in the later 420s (lsoc. 16.31; Ps. Andoc. 4.13; Plut. Ale. 8.1-3) linking himself to the wealthy, hippotrophic family ofKallias II. His reputation for extravagance and his career as a general are well known. Anecdotes in Plutarch's Alcibiades suggest A. may have had athletic training as a youth: 2.2 a wrestling bout; 3.1-2 A. in a palaestra; 4.4 A. exercises with Socrates (cf. Pl. Symp. 217c); 16.4 Athenians note the fitness and strength of A.'s body (cf. Isoc. 16.32). Ps. Plato Ale. I 106e also says that A.'s schooling included wrestling. A5.

This win, after Croesus' gift of gold, was the first of many chariot victories for this family and Athens. A. himself commanded Athenian forces in the First Sacred War from ca. 595 on (Plut. Sol. 11.2). A6. 'AAKµi:covi&ri~ I 'A).Kµtrovo~ I 'AAro1ti:Kfj0i:v ca. 546 chariot Panath.? JG 12 472; Moretti, JAG 10-12, no. 5; Ebert, Epigramme, 38-42, no. 3; Jeffery, Scripts, 73, no. 30. APF653, see 9688 II, stemma Table I; Bicknell, Politics and Genealogy, .68-69, stemma p. 75. A dedication from the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios in North Boeotia records this victory from the mid-sixth century. From the find spot and orthography, Jeffery suggests A. won at the Great Panathenaea of 546 and then had to leave before he could make a dedication on the Acropolis. Davies feels the primary historical value of the dedication is as a witness of the Alkmeonid response to the The ban support for the return of Pisistratus in 547 /6. A second dedication was made on the Acropolis by A. jointly with [Kpfrn]o~ (DAA no. 317; JAG no. 4, pp. 8-10; Ducat, Les kouroi du Ptoion, 242 ff., no. 14, pl. 72; see A38). This dedication may be slightly earlier (Jeffery, Scripts, 73), and Moretti suggests the Panathenaea of 550/49 or 546/5. The event is uncertain but may have been the hippios dromos (DAA p. 339). .

    And the walls came tumblin’ down … Nigel Spivey, The Ancient Olympics. Oxford University Press, 2004. ISBN 0-19-280433-2. Pp. i-xxi + 273. Anmeldt af Thomas Heine Nielsen Der er tradition for, at afholdelsen af de moderne Olympiske Lege afføder en del publikationer om antikkens Olympiske Lege. Det var fx i 1976, da der var OL i Montreal, at M.I. Finley & H.W. Pleket publicerede deres The Olympic Games. The first Thousand Years - en bog der stadig er en god introduktion til emnet - og det var i 1960, da der var OL i Rom, at Leo Hjortsøs Olympia. Den græske Olympiade udkom. Det kan derfor ikke overraske, at når OL nu ‘vender hjem’ til Athen, er strømmen af publikationer en kende stærkere end ellers. Herhjemme har SFINX genudgivet Den græske Olympiade, og British Museum har ligeledes genudgivet Judith Swaddlings The Ancient Olympic Games, begge oprindeligt fra 1980, da der var OL i Moskva. Men der publiceres naturligvis også nyskrevne værker. Nigel Spivey (= S.) er sikkert mest kendt for bøger som Understanding Greek Sculpture. Ancient Meanings, Modern Readings (London, 1996) og Greek Art (London, 1997), men nu har han under titlen The Ancient Olympics begået et nyt værk. Bogens hensigt er at redegøre for Olympias “strangeness” og “historical peculiarities” (xix), og den placerer sig dermed smukt i den efterhånden lange række af nyere bøger, der fokuserer på den afgrundsdybe forskel mellem antikken og den moderne vestlige verden: “Olympia past is another country” (xix). Heldigvis er det ikke en hensigt, der præger bogen i så høj grad, at den bliver ulæselig.

Athenian Political Art from the Fi h and Fourth Centuries BCE: images of historical individuals S Most portraits of individuals from Classi- cal Greece are best known through copies of the Greek originals, created in late Hel- lenistic and Roman times, when it became popular to decorate domestic spaces with Greek art works and copies thereof. In- tellectuals in these periods particularly enjoyed surrounding themselves with images of their favorite Greek statesmen and writers. Whereas the original Greek portraits, which generally occupied civic spaces, and were o en commissioned at public expense, depicted bodies as well as heads, copies more o en took the form of busts or herms (rectangular sha s surmounted with the shoulder Amy C.

Duff Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society 49 (2003), 89-117 Almost four decades ago, Donald Russell published in this journal an analysis of the first sixteen chapters of the Life of Alkibiades, which consist largely of short self-contained anecdotes about Alkibiades' childhood, youth and early career (Russell 1966b). As Russell demonstrated, most of these anecdotes are juxtaposed without any causal link. Although there are the occasional chronological markers - indications, for example, that Alkibiades is getting older and passing from childhood to early manhood - some are plainly out of chronological order and it is impossible to extract a clear chronology from them.2 Russell argued, however, that to try to extract such a chronological narrative would be to misunderstand the function of this material, which is not to provide a narrative of Alkibiades' early years but rather to illuminate and illustrate his character.

The object aimed at in this Translation is, as the title-page sets forth, to render Plato's text as nearly as possible word for word into English, and it is therefore not intended specially for English readers. On the contrary, it is intended principally for stu- dents and scholars, for those who are learning or have learnt to compare the structure and resources of the Greek and the English language, and the several modes of expression which the habits of thought pre- vailing in times and places so far removed from one another have stamped upon their respective idioms. Those who have done so are the only fair judges of such an attempt, and will be the first to make the requisite allowance for the defects and shortcomings which will most assuredly be found in this transla- tion. My endeavour has been not only to convey the spirit and freedom, which of course must be the aim of every translator, but also as far as possible to preserve the form of the original language; and I have done my best to hold a middle course between the pedantic and servile adherence to the letter by vi rUEFACE.
