  • Ionian Silver Coinage and the Ionian Confederacy
    Nicholas D. Cross CAMWS Annual Meeting Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy Zoom [email protected] May 26-28, 2020 Ionian Silver Coinage and the Ionian Confederacy IG XII 5, 444: From the time Ne[l]eus founde[d Milet]u[s] . Ephesus, Erythrae, Clazomenae, P[ri]ene, Lebedus, Teos, Colophon, Myus, [Phoc]a[ea], Samos, [Chios, and] the [Pan]ioni[a] came into being, 813 yea[rs] (= 1077/1087 BCE), when Me⟨don⟩ was king of Athens. Vitruvius 4.1.4-5: This Melite, on account of the arrogance of its citizens, was destroyed by the other cities in a war declared by general agreement, and in its place, through the kindness of King Attalus and Arsinoe, Smyrna was admitted among the Ionians. Now these cities, after driving out the Carians and Lelegans, called that part of the world Ionia from their leader Ion, and there they set off precincts for the immortal gods and began to build fanes: first of all, a temple to Panionion Apollo such as they had seen in Achaea, calling it Doric because they had first seen that kind of temple built in the states of the Dorians. Paus. 7.3.10: When the Ionians would not admit them [the Phocaeans] to the Ionian koinon until they accepted kings of the race of the Codridae, they accepted Deoetes, Periclus and Abartus from Erythrae and from Teos. Paus. 7.4.10: When the Chians were rid of war, it occurred to Hector that they ought to unite with the Ionians in sacrificing at Panionium. It is said that the Ionian koinon gave him a tripod as a prize for valor.

  • Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period
    Spectacular Gifts: Gifts Given to Delian Apollo During the Greek Archaic Period Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bonnie McCutcheon Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Greg Anderson, Advisor Nathan Rosenstein Timothy E. Gregory 1 Copyrighted by Bonnie McCutcheon 2018 2 Abstract Delos, birthplace to the gods Apollo and Artemis, was home to a significant sanctuary to Apollo in the Greek Archaic Period. Apollo and his sanctuary received many spectacular gifts which stand out in the historical record, including world-premiere works of art, such as the Nikandre kore. The turannos of Samos, Polycrates, notably gave to Apollo the neighboring island of Rheneia, which he attached to Delos with a chain. These and other gifts include elements of the spectacular which make them stand out. To understand the role played by elements of spectacle in gifts at Delos, we must examine these gifts as a discourse. Only by putting them in context with one another can we fully understand the messages that each gift was meant to communicate. Ultimately, I will argue that this is a discourse about establishing and performing identity as xenoi (guest- friends) of the gods and as megaloprepes (magnificent or great men). iii Dedication For Russ, who always believed in me, even when I did not. iv Acknowledgments The composition of this dissertation has spanned over a decade of my life, and could not have been completed without the support of my family and mentors at the Ohio State University.

  • Serpil AYTÜRE∗
    Pamukkale Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi Sayı,25,2016,Sayfa 297-305 POSEİDON HELİKONİOS KÜLTÜ Serpil AYTÜRE∗ Özet Poseidon Helikonios kültü, M.Ö.1200 civarında gerçekleştiği varsayılan Ege göçleri sürecinde Hellas’ın Helike bölgesinden gelen İon kökenli göçmenler kanalıyla Küçük Asya’ya getirilmiştir. Bu göçmenler politik kimliği de olduğu bilinen Panionion’u oluşturup, bu bölgeyi merkez alarak, Poseidon Helikonios kültü etrafında kültürel ve etnik kimliklerini korumayı başarmışlardır. Hellas’ın ve Küçük Asya’nın çeşitli bölgelerindeki Poseidon kültleri ile kökeni ve tapınımı açısından bazı farklılıklar gösteren kültün varlığı, Arkaik dönemden Roma egemenliğine kadar sürmüştür. Bununla birlikte bu süreç içinde birçok özelliğini kaybetmiştir. Bu çalışma söz konusu dönemde kültün geçirdiği değişimleri ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Poseidon, İon göçleri, Panionion, Helike POSEİDON HELİKONİOS KÜLTÜ Abstract The cult of Poseidon Helikonios was brought to Asia Minor during the Aegean Migrations around 1200 B.C. by Ionic immigrants from Helike region in Hellas. These immigrants formed Panionion, which is known to have a political identity, and they managed to maintain their culture and ethnic identity by means of establishing the region as a center for the cult of Poseidon Helikonios. The cult of Poseidon had experienced some differences in terms of origin and worship in the various regions of Hellas and Asia Minor. Although the cult continued its presence from the Archaic period to the Roman era, it had lost many of its features in the course of time. This study aims to explain the mentioned changes during this period. Keywords: Poseidon, İon Migration, Panionion, Helike ∗ Arş.

Thus, there is not yet an English detailed commentary on his prose work, the Erotika Pathemata. However, many reasons make this prose work interesting. Firstly, the work survives in a single manuscript, making thus a critical edition requiring a special attention. Secondly, the thirty-six stories of the Erotika Pathemata have been ‘de-hydrated’, since the collection was intended to be used as a model for poetry (primarily by Parthenios himself).

  • The Hellenic League of 480 Bc
    ACTA CLASSICA XXXIV (1991) 93-110 ISSN 0065-1141 THE HELLENIC LEAGUE OF 480 B.C. -FACT OR IDEOLOGICAL FICTION? by Adrian Tronson (Memorial University of Newfoundland) For Charl N aude The majority of modern historians, both in the standard handbooks and in specialized works on the Persian invasion of 480, continue to attribute the successful defence of Greece against Xerxes' invasion to the so-called Hel­ lenic League of 480/479. They and their ancient counterparts have either taken the existence of such an institution for granted, or intimated that it generated itself spontaneously in response to the Persian danger and conducted operations during the campaign.1 A small minority of scholars has suggested that this alleged panhellenic league was not a separate in­ stitution, associated only with the war against Persia, but was in fact the Lacedaemonian alliance (the 'Peloponnesian League'), perhaps with a few hangers-on. 2 It is time to re-examine the extant ancient evidence and contest the 'pop­ ular' assumption that a new, separate political and military organization arose in response to the Persian danger. I submit that at the time of the invasion Sparta's military pre-eminence was undisputed in Greece, that the conduct of the campaign was co-ordinated by Sparta and that individual states, including Athens, looked only to Sparta for salvation. Only later did certain individuals regard the war of 480/79 as one of 'Hellenic' significance: first Aeschylus, in the Persae (472 B.C.), 3 and above all, Herodotus, who wrote his History in the period of 'cold-war' between Athens and Sparta during the years 460-431 B.C.
