Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions. My approach is highly interdisciplinary, making heavy use of new evidence from archaeological surveys, and hundreds of excavations and epigraphic finds. The first chapter maps the changes in settlement patterns across several regions in Greece and Asia Minor. It first establishes that almost all of the foundations of the Hellenistic kings were not actually ex novo creations, but represented either the refoundation of an existing city or the centralization of population scattered in many smaller cities and villages. It then makes the case for the centrality of the process of synoikismos, the merging of multiple cities into a single community, for understanding the urbanization processes of the period. The literary sources for many of the foundations of the Hellenistic kings, principally the historians Strabo and Diodoros, stress the destructive process involved in creating these new settlements, which is often described as involving the razing of ancient cities and forced population transfer into these new sites. This historical topos overshadows what was in reality a much more complicated process. There is good archaeological and epigraphic evidence that many of these sites persisted as urban centers after they were supposedly destroyed. It is only through a detailed treatment of each of these foundations, with close attention to the epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological material that a more nuanced picture of the process of synoikismos and urban foundation can be achieved. Focusing on a dozen case studies, from Thessaly and Macedonia to the Troad and Ionia, I attempt to reconstruct a picture of the settlement patterns of these regions in the late fourth century and show how these ! 1! changed after the centralization processes of the Hellenistic kings. Accompanying this argument is a series of original maps, which illustrates this process in detail. The second chapter examines the effects of this planned urbanization for the reorganization of economic activity both within and across regions and how this reflects the policies of imperial powers. I argue that there was a conscious strategy of setting up wider economic zones to combat the natural fragmentation of the Greek landscape and ensure greater mobility and access to resources, serving both the interests of the king and the individual cities. After considering some royal letters that hint at the economic concerns of the kings and cities and shed some light on the costs that these foundations entailed, I examine the crucial role of restructuring land tenure and expanding infrastructure in the form of roads, ports, and markets that linked these newly expanded urban centers. I then present the evidence for trade networks from several of these cities, before and after the foundations and refoundations of the kings. Through a careful study of the evidence from transport amphorae (storage jars for long-distance trade), I demonstrate that there is a quantifiable expansion of commerce in this period. Finally, the chapter explores the relationship of foundations and urbanization to the creation of koina, or federal leagues, that united even larger areas in economic cooperation through the creation of a common coinage, a common treasury and other forms of economic, political, and religious interdependence. I conclude by asserting the centrality of economic concerns for the policies of the kings, rescuing this line of inquiry from recent primitivist interpretations of the ancient economy that have sought to minimize the importance of economic behavior in the ancient world. In the third chapter, I explore the role of religion and shared cultic identity in forging these new communities and the degree to which negotiating these ancient traditions established a dialogue between king and city. I begin by tracking the continuity and discontinuity of cults across the destruction and creation of cities, and isolate the importance of ritual, cult, and the manipulation of symbols for creating new polities, as well as the potential of these same factors to undermine political unity. In every new royal foundation in this period there is evidence for the persistence of cults that were transferred to the new urban center from the old polis centers, many of which became the central cult of the foundation. However, there is also evidence for the continuing significance and attachment to cults in their original setting and a lingering importance to the landscape. This religious attachment, I argue, partially explains why so many of these synoikisms ultimately failed, resulting in the breakaway and reconstitution of the original cities. I also point to a number of instances where there is evidence for the complete abandonment of sites of cult after a population transfer, showing that a single rubric for understanding how cults are incorporated into a new foundation is not possible. After considering the mechanisms of cultic transfer, I highlight the central role of religion in creating a new, common polity and the degree to which it was a stage for negotiation and tension between city and king and between the communities themselves. The fourth chapter looks to the interior of the city, attempting to show how the articulation of urban space, city planning, and architecture reflect responses to the new political and social realities of the period. I explore the layout of these cities and the advantages of their design, fortification, and infrastructure. I then examine the means of incorporating ancient sanctuaries in to the new city plan, along with the construction of new, centrally located sanctuaries and the meaning of their architectural order and decoration. I also treat domestic space, and demonstrate how the layout of housing blocks mirrored the concern for equality necessary for integrating diverse populations. Finally, I explore the way the Hellenistic monarchs inserted themselves into the physical fabric of ! 2! the city through palaces, sanctuaries dedicated to ruler cult, monumental statues, and public buildings. This project ultimately seeks to provide a new approach to a period of great transition for the history of the Greek polis and a model for imperial interaction in the ancient Mediterranean. I conclude by stressing the degree to which the power of the kings was filtered and mediated through complex negotiations with cities and the limits traditional ties of ethnicity, religion, and identity placed on the authority and opportunism of the kings, while simultaneously providing a highly elaborated venue for that power. This study also seeks to understand strategies of resilience and adaptation for political communities in times of stress, collapse, and change. ! 3!

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48023-9 — Greek Epigram and Byzantine Culture Steven D. Smith Frontmatter More Information GREEK EPIGRAM AND BYZANTINE CULTURE Sexy, scintillating, and sometimes scandalous, Greek epigrams from the age of the Emperor Justinian commemorate the survival of the sensual in a world transformed by Christianity. Around 567 ce, the poet and historian Agathias of Myrina published his Cycle, an anthol- ogy of epigrams by contemporary poets who wrote about what mattered to elite men in sixth-century Constantinople: harlots and dancing girls, chariot races in the hippodrome, and the luxuries of the Roman bath. But amid this banquet of worldly delights, ascetic Christianity – pervasive in early Byzantine thought – made sensual pleasure both more complicated and more compelling. In this book, Steven D. Smith explores how this miniature classical genre gave expression to lurid fantasies of domination and submission, con- straint and release, and the relationship between masculine and feminine. The volume will appeal to literary scholars and historians interested in Greek poetry, late antiquity, Byzantine studies, early Christianity, gender, and sexuality. steven d. smith is Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at Hofstra University, New York.

This partnership is constituted from 6 countries, and targets in each of those 6 regions 2 groups: G1/the actors in the employment and training sectors (trainers, social workers, teachers, entrepreneurs, HR managers ...etc) and G2/the vulnerable populations that are excluded from the employment and training markets (isolated women and single mothers, migrants, adults living in rural areas and/or territories in economic decline, disabled people, as well as people close to illiteracy. After proceeding with a comparative diagnosis of the modes and practices that are used to evaluate the basic competences, with the actors of the employment and training sectors in every country, the partnership will experiment and produce tools and methods for an initial evaluation of the basic competences, that are related to the 8 key competences defined in the European reference framework. These experiments will allow the partners to produce together individualised plans for the development of competences, in favour of the final beneficiaries (G2) and the implementation of training modules to evaluate the key competences in direction of the professionals (G1) which would allow them to adapt their practices to the diversity of problems faced by the vulnerable groups. 3 Grundtvig - See your skills PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY This partnership aims at 3 objectives: 1. Identify, analyse and exchange the good practices in terms of evaluation and development of key competences in favour of the groups who are in a situation of social and professional exclusion.

    CORINTH, 1984: EAST OF THE THEATER (PLATES 6-18) RTZHE EXCAVATIONS conductedin 1984 by the American School of Classical Studies at Ancient Corinth have been an expansion of the work executed by the School east of the Theater in 1983.1 Investigations were continued along the west side of East Theater Street around the vomitorium of the Theater and on the east side of the same street where three different Roman buildings now have been distinguished (P1. 6). The buildings are numbered southward starting at the gateway from the theatrical court, with the odd num- bers assigned to the east side of East Theater Street. In this report those structures are designated as Building 1, Building 3, and Building 5 of that street; the last of these is the structure that in the previous Hesperia report was called the Terraced Building.2 During the 1984 excavation season much new architecturalmaterial was uncovered;many newly excavatedfills now can be associatedwith constructionoperations after 44 B.C.and destruc- tions of-the various buildings terminating ca. A.D. 400. All this indicates that the area along East Theater Street has a much more complex history than that published in the previous Hesperia report. BUILDING 1, EAST THEATER STREET (Fig. 7, P1. 7:a, b) Building 1 has been only partially excavated; activity was continued this year within its I Once again this year excavating at Ancient Corinth was made possible by permission of the Greek Ar- chaeologicalService and by the cooperationof the ArchaeologicalEphoreia of the Argolid and the Corinthia.

  • THE PARADOX of AMATORY EPIGRAM Kathryn Gutzwiller in One of His Deceptively Simple Epigrams, Catullus Shows How Well He Has Mast

    THE PARADOX of AMATORY EPIGRAM Kathryn Gutzwiller in One of His Deceptively Simple Epigrams, Catullus Shows How Well He Has Mast

    THE PARADOX OF AMATORY EPIGRAM Kathryn Gutzwiller In one of his deceptively simple epigrams, Catullus shows how well he has mastered the Hellenistic art of variation: Nulli se dicit mulier mea nubere malle quam mihi, non si se Iuppiter ipse petat. dicit: sed mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento et rapida scribere oportet aqua. (Catullus 70) My woman says that she prefers to marry no one more than me, not even if Juppiter himself asks her. She says it, but what a woman says to a lover who desires her must be written on the wind and rushing water. Catullus models his poem on a set of three epigrams, by Callimachus, Asclepiades, and Meleager, preserved in the AP in what was likely the original sequence from Meleager’s Garland. It would be intriguing to explore in detail how Catullus conveys his anguish at Lesbia’s betrayal through a process of intertextual allusion to a series of epigrams that already displayed variation one of the other within the context in which Catullus likely encountered them. I cite the poem here, however, only for a verbal play in the second couplet. In the last epigram from the AP sequence, the one in which Meleager demonstrates his extraordinary ability to rework and make new the best epigrams of his predecessors, an abandoned woman complains that the oaths of lovers are carried away on water (59 GP (= AP 5.8); cf. Callimachus 11 GP (= AP 5.6 = 25 Pf.), Asclepiades 9 GP (= AP 5.7)). Catullus modi es this line not only by reversing the gender roles, making himself the abandoned lover, but also by adding a paradoxical contrast between speaking and writing: what a woman says (dicit) to her lover must be written (scribere), not in a love poem, but on the wind and the water.

    15. Identity and Irony. Martial's Tenth Book, Horace, and the Tradition of Roman Satire

    15. IDENTITY AND IRONY. MARTIAL'S TENTH BOOK, HORACE, AND THE TRADITION OF ROMAN SATIRE Elena Merli Although Martial strongly invokes the Latin epigrammatic tradition in his poetological statements-and thus in part actually constitutes this tradition-the intertextual references in his poetry point far beyond the genre of epigram. In his monograph on Martial, John Sullivan briefly discusses the role of satire and elegy in his view our poet's most important intertextual points of reference. According to Sullivan, Martial takes from satire his critical view of society and human behav­ ior, and from elegy especially the element of self-representation. Even prior to Sullivan, of course, the question of Martial's relationship to satire was posed frequently, and the answers focused on the humorous and mimic elements; on the poet's description of "types" such as the parvenu, the hypocrite and the legacy-hunter; and on his criticism of Roman society and the system of clientela. 1 To my mind, the limitation of this approach consists in the diffi­ culty of adequately defining the object "satire". Scholarship has too often abstained from seeking precise, concrete lines and tendencies of development in this genre, and done so in good conscience on the grounds of satire's intrinsic uarietas? As far as our topic is concerned, this fact has led to a kind of optical illusion: the relationship between Martial and Juvenal has moved to center stage, while Martial's much broader and more nuanced relationship to the various forms and stages of the satirical tradition has receded into the background.

    Spartan Suspicions and the Massacre, Again1 Sospechas Espartanas Y La Masacre, De Nuevo

    Spartan Suspicions and the Massacre, Again1 Sospechas espartanas y la masacre, de nuevo Annalisa Paradiso2 Università della Basilicata (Italia) Recibido: 27-02-17 Aprobado: 28-03-17 Abstract While narrating Brasidas’ expedition to Thrace and the Spartans’ decision to send 700 helots to accompany him as hoplites, Thucydides refers to another episode of helots’ enfranchisement, followed however by their massacre. The association of the timing of the two policies is indeed suspect, whereas it is possible that in the second case the slaughter may have been carried out in different chasms in Laconia, rather than in the so-called Kaiadas, after dividing the helots into groups. Key-words: Thucydides, Sparta, Massacre, Kaiadas. Resumen Mientras narra la expedición de Brásidas a Tracia y la decisión de los espartanos de enviarle 700 ilotas que le acompañaran como hoplitas, Tucídides refiere otro episodio de manumisión de ilotas, seguido empero de su masacre. La coincidencia de ambas medidas políticas es en efecto sospechosa, si tenemos en cuenta que en el segundo caso la matanza puede haberse llevado a cabo en desfiladeros diferentes de Laconia, y no en el llamado Kaiadas, tras dividir a los ilotas en grupos. Palabras-clave: Tucídides, Esparta, masacre, Kaiadas. 1 This article has been improved through information and comments supplied by Yanis Pikoulas, Dimitris Roubis, and James Roy.

    Observations on the Messeniaca of Rhianus of Bene

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Thessaly Institutional Repository OBSERVATIONS ON THE MESSENIACA OF RHIANUS OF BENE The nine fragments of Rhianus which can with certainty be included in his Messeniaca make a basis for conjecture about the contents of the epic. Of the five mentions in Stephanus four refer to Peloponnese and one to Rhodes, which was named in the sixth book. Pausanias, whose sources for the Messenian wars conflate several accounts including those of Rhianus himself and of the prose writer Myron of Priene, shows that Rhianus’s hero Aristomenes was not said in the poem to have fought in the se­ cond Messenian war : indeed Pausanias expressly disagreed with the statement of Rhianus that the war of Aristomenes was fought when Leotychides was king of Sparta1. We know of no Messe­ nian war of the period of Leotychides I, but Plato (Laws 692 D, 698 D-E) preserved a tradition of a war fought at the time of the battle of Marathon. The evidence that Rhianus believed Aristomenes to have fought at the time of Leotychides II may profitably be examined in the context of Spartan troubles in Pe. loponnese in the early fifth century. The lines οϋρεος άργεννοΐο περί πτύχας εατρατόωντο χείματά τε ποιας τε δύω και είκοσι πάσας (FG Hist 265 F 44) show that Rhianus mentioned a twenty years war, as Tyrtaeus did before him, but there is no evidence that Rhianus made his hero Aristomenes fight in it. The couplet probably refers back to the First Messenian war in which the Spartans were led by the kings Polydorus and Theopompus in the second half of the eighth century BC.
