Arguing against the prescriptive military hierarchies proposed in earlier scholarship, it suggests that ‘taxiarch’ should be understood fluidly and that the appearance of both the ὑποστράτηγος and the ὑπολόχαγος may be due to interpolation.

On the command structure see Nussbaum (F) ‒E; Roy (F) EF‒; Lee ( F) ‒ , ‒ . Luuk Huitink and Tim Rood the command structure is discussed in its own right, it tends to be in relation either to the apologetic strains found in the Anabasis or to the broader theory of leadership that runs through his diverse corpus and that is sometimes historicised as a prototype of Hellenistic models. 2 The aim of this article is to focus instead on Xenophon’s treatment of the divisions within the command structure presented in the Anabasis , and in particular the diJculties raised by three military positions that make fleeting appearances in the Anabasis —ταξίαρχος , ὑποστράτηγος , and ὑπολόχαγος . The first of these nouns appears in Xenophon’s account twice (B..BF, .. E), while the two ὑπο- forms are found just once (B..B and . .B respectively—ὑποστράτηγος for the first, and ὑπολόχαγος for the only, time in extant Greek literature; there is also a single use of the verb ὑποστρατηγεῖν ( ..B)). Despite the lack of attention paid to these positions by Xenophon, the very fact that they are mentioned at all might seem a pointer to the growing professionalisation in Greek military practice that is often seen as a distinctive feature of the fourth century. 3 But what are their functions? In the case of the ταξίαρχος , its second appearance, as we shall see, has frequently led scholars to assume that it was a formal term for light-armed oJcers in the Ten Thousand. As for the ὑποστράτηγος , the contexts in which the noun and the cognate verb are used have been taken to suggest that the word denotes an oJcer who replaces a dead or absent στρατηγός; and by extension, in the absence of other contextual clues, the same model has been applied to the ὑπολόχαγος . In this article, we will point to various problems in current scholarly views about the functions of these positions, propose a new interpretation of the ταξίαρχος , and raise the possibility that the appearances of the ὑποστράτηγος and ὑπολόχαγος are due to interpolation. 2 Dürrbach (EB) remains the most detailed and hostile discussion of the Anabasis as apology; on the leadership theory see most recently Gray ( ); for the Hellenistic link see, e.g., Dillery ( ) ‒F. 3 See, e.g., Hornblower ( ) ‒ B. Subordinate Ocers in Xenophon’s Anabasis Before o?ering a detailed analysis of the internal evidence provided by the Anabasis , however, we will look briefly at two types of comparative material relevant to ὑποστράτηγοι and ὑπολόχαγοι in particular: firstly, procedures for replacing dead, absent, or deposed generals at Athens and Sparta in the Classical period; secondly, the lexical development of subordinate positions with the prefix ὑπο-. Even if the specific textual suggestions that are here proposed are rejected, these subordinate positions deserve more extensive analysis than they have so far received. Suect O cers At Athens there is little evidence for procedures when oJcers were absent or died, even though [Arist.] Ath. Pol. o?ers an account of how di?erent military oJces were elected. This account does mention that στρατηγοί and ἵππαρχοι faced an ἐπιχειροτονία each prytany, but while [Aristotle] specifies that if put on trial they are reappointed if acquitted, he does not state who is appointed in their place if they are found guilty. Nor does he o?er evidence for replacement procedures for the lesser oJcers he mentions, whether they be directly elected, like the tribal ταξίαρχοι or φύλαρχοι , or chosen by a superior, like the λοχαγοί.4 Striking evidence for the lack of a formal system in the case of a general’s temporary absence is provided by X.’s account of the prelude to the battle of Notium in . 5 Alcibiades is described by X. as leaving his pilot ( τὸν αὑτοῦ κυβερνήτην ) Antiochus in charge of the Athenian navy ( HG . .)—an appointment described by Krentz as ‘exceptional’ and explained by the fact that ‘no generals were available’. 6 Even in the absence of other generals, it is 4 See Rhodes (B) F‒EE on the details of the discussion of ‘elective military oJcials’. 5 For the rest of this article, ‘X.’ stands for the author Xenophon, ‘Xenophon’ for the character. 6 Krentz (E) BE. See also Jordan (F ) BE‒B, esp. Luuk Huitink and Tim Rood remarkable that Alcibiades gave the command to his pilot—a professional, unelected position. As for the death or deposition of a general, the first clear evidence for Athenian procedures comes a few years before Notium. 7 In /B Nicias, the only remaining general of the Athenian force in Sicily after the deposition of Alcibiades and the death of Lamachus, sent to Athens to ask to be replaced himself. The Athenians instead chose two men on the spot, Menander and Euthydemus, as additional στρατηγοί (Th. F..: προσείλοντο ), until Nicias’ new colleagues Demosthenes and Eurymedon (who were already στρατηγοί) should arrive. It seems likely that Menander and Euthydemus were made στρατηγοί in addition to the regular ten, having previously served as subordinate oJcers (perhaps ταξίαρχοι ). 8 Whatever the earlier status of the replacement generals, the example of the Athenian force in Sicily reveals clearly that there was no automatic system for replacing missing στρατηγοί.9 This procedure seems to be confirmed, moreover, by the aftermath of the battle of Arginusae in : after two στρατηγοί had died and seven had been deposed, the Athenians chose in addition to the single remaining στρατηγός (πρὸς δὲ τούτῳ εἵλοντο , X. HG .F.) two new στρατηγοί, evidently leaving a board of only three for the rest of the year. 10 In Classical Greece, it is Sparta that provides the best evidence for procedures on the deaths of military leaders. 7 ML BB, a casualty list with two generals from one tribe in the same year, is possible evidence for replacement, but it is also possible that two generals from that tribe were elected initially; see Fornara (F) . 8 Develin (E) , ; Alcibiades had been deposed the previous year ( /), so the new στρατηγοί are not a straight replacement. For a di?erent view of the Sicilian command, see Hamel (E) ‒ . 9 The expedition was distinctive in that the three initial generals were sent αὐτοκράτορες (Th. .E. , .), but this point does not undermine the broader argument. 10 There is further evidence for the remaining years of the Pelopon- nesian War: for / Lysias was probably su?ect for Archestratus (Rhodes (B) B); in / Eucrates was chosen after the battle of Aegospotami (Lys. E.). For fatalities among generals in the Classical period, see Pritchett () F‒BE, Hamel (E) ‒. Subordinate Ocers in Xenophon’s Anabasis B Some of this evidence concerns the navy.

  • Spies (Kataskopoi, Otakoustai)
    ch3.qxd 10/18/1999 2:12 PM Page 103 Chapter 3 Beyond the Pale: Spies (Kataskopoi, Otakoustai) It is almost as dif‹cult to de‹ne a spy as to catch one. The most common word among the Greeks for spies was kataskopoi, but throughout the classical era they did not use this term for spies alone: an author might employ it in one context where we would say “spy,” in another where we would understand “scout,” in a third where we would have dif‹culty translating it at all.1 Otakoustai were consistently used as covert agents, but they were rarely sent abroad.2 Is it then anachronistic to distinguish spies from other agents? The answer to this problem can perhaps be found in a distinction in the social perception of different types of kataskopoi (et al.). Some kataskopoi (i.e., spies) were perceived by their victims as treacherous and seem to have been subject to legislation concerning treachery; others (i.e., scouts et al.) were not.3 Whereas spies were normally interrogated under 1. Thucydides, e.g., used kataskopoi for spies at 6.45.1 (they were not named but were distinguished from other sources reporting to the Syracusans) and 8.6.4 (the perioikos Phry- nis, discussed shortly); mounted scouts at 6.63.3; and of‹cial investigators at 4.27.3–4 (Cleon and Theagenes, chosen by the Athenians to investigate matters at Pylos) and 8.41.1 (men appointed to oversee the Spartan navarch Astyochus). The word kataskopos is not found in Homer—he instead used episkopos or skopos indiscriminately for spies, scouts, watchers, and overseers.

TEXT IN ORIGINAL IS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE PAGE ABSTRACT The army with which Alexander the Great conquered the Persian empire was "built around the Macedonian Companion cavalry and the Macedonian heavy infantry. The Macedonian nobility were traditionally fine horsemen, hut the infantry was poorly armed and badly organised until the reign of Alexander II in 369/8 B.C. This king formed a small royal standing army; it consisted of a cavalry force of Macedonian nobles, which he named the 'hetairoi' (or Companion]! cavalry, and an infantry body drawn from the commoners and trained to fight in phalangite formation: these he called the »pezetairoi» (or foot-companions). Philip II (359-336 B.C.) expanded the kingdom and greatly increased the manpower resources for war. Towards the end of his reign he started preparations for the invasion of the Persian empire and levied many more Macedonians than had hitherto been involved in the king's wars. In order to attach these men more closely to himself he extended the meaning of the terms »hetairol» and 'pezetairoi to refer to the whole bodies of Macedonian cavalry and heavy infantry which served under him on his campaigning.

  • Rhetores and Strategoi in Fourth-Century Athens Mogens Herman Hansen
    HANSEN, MOGENS HERMAN, "Rhetores" and "Strategoi" in Fourth-Century Athens , Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies, 24:2 (1983:Summer) p.151 Rhetores and Strategoi in Fourth-Century Athens Mogens Herman Hansen ONCERNING POLITICAL LEADERSHIP in classical Athens histori­ C ans have posed a number of interesting questions: Were the Athenian 'politicians' recruited from the propertied families? Did they become rich in consequence of their political careers? Did they belong to the city demes or to the inland and coastal demes? Did they often serve as archai selected by lot? How often were they put on trial? But as a basis for their arguments historians tend either to draw up a random list of so-called politicians or to adduce five, ten, or fifteen examples of named political leaders, from which to draw conclusions. 1 In the absence of a list of political leaders, this is of course the only possible method, and doubtless the answers offered are often along the right lines. Nevertheless, given the very good sources available on fourth-century Athens, it is worth while to delimit the concept 'political leader' and accordingly draw up a list of persons meeting the criteria, so as to have a more rigorous basis for addressing questions of the sort mentioned above. In an earlier ar­ ticle 2 I argued that in fourth-century Athens the phrase PT,TOpf.~ Kat (TTpaT'Y'TrYOL is the nearest equivalent of what we, with a much vaguer and less formal term, call 'politicians' or 'political leaders'. Accor­ dingly, I present here the application of that principle, an inventory which is basically a list of rhetores and strategoi.
